How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
ZSR's 9mm Luger 115-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket range load. Its 1,148 fps lands alongside PMC Bronze 115-grain. Muzzle energy is 336 ft-lbs, from a plain lead core in a copper jacket.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.3 inches low at 50, where it is down to 1,041 fps with 277 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.0 ft-lbs, matching PMC Bronze 115-grain.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's 115-grain is 42 fps faster at 1,190 fps with 362 ft-lbs. Magtech 115-grain is the mild end at 1,135 fps and 329 ft-lbs. Sellier & Bellot 115-grain is the hot one of the four, at 1,280 fps.
- 7 ft-lbs over Magtech 115-grain at the muzzle
- Brass case and standard pressure, so it needs no +P-rated pistol and clears steel-case rules
- Level with PMC Bronze 115-grain at 50 yards, within 2 ft-lbs
- About 20 percent less muzzle energy than Sellier & Bellot 115-grain
- The second least muzzle energy of the loads compared, ahead only of Magtech 115-grain
