Solved from this product's advertised 2850 fps, 125gr bullet and G1 BC 0.365, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 6.5mm Creedmoor, or read 6.5 Creedmoor: 100-Yard vs 200-Yard Zero.
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 8" vital zone, ±4" 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 500 yards.

Product Overview
Winchester's USA 125-grain Open Tip is an open-nose jacketed 6.5 Creedmoor load made for recreational shooting. Winchester loads a jacketed target bullet left open at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,850 fps with 2,254 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .365.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 13.6 inches at 300 and 31.1 inches at 400. From a 200-yard zero it drops 23.7 inches at 400, and it is still moving at 1,929 fps there.
If you're cross-shopping, Aguila's 140-grain FMJBT Target is the other plain range load in the caliber, 15 grains heavier, 250 fps slower at the muzzle and about 13 percent harder on recoil in the same rifle.
- Only four loads in the caliber kick less in the same rifle
- Starts 153 ft-lbs ahead of Aguila's 140-grain FMJBT Target
- Still moving at 2,140 fps at 300 yards
- An open-nose target bullet, so nothing in it is made to open up on game
- Loses 921 fps between the muzzle and 400 yards
- At 125 grains it carries the lighter bullet of the caliber's two plain range loads
