Solved from this product's advertised 3016 fps, 95gr bullet and G1 BC 0.355, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 6mm ARC.
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.
6mm ARC 95gr with a 100-yard zero

Product Overview
HSM Tipping Point 95-grain SST is a polymer-tipped 6mm ARC load made for hunting and long-range shooting. HSM loads Hornady's SST, a lead-core hunting bullet whose jacket locks to the core behind the tip. It leaves the muzzle at 3,016 fps with 1,918 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .355.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 7.1 inches at 300 and 21.1 inches at 400 with 876 ft-lbs left. It is also the fastest of the caliber's hunting loads at the muzzle.
If you're cross-shopping, HSM's own Trophy Gold 95-grain Berger VLD is the same bullet weight 116 fps slower on a G1 BC of .467 and from a 200-yard zero it drops 20.7 inches at 400. Hornady's Precision Hunter 103-grain ELD-X carries a G1 BC of .512 and drops 21.8 inches off that zero.
- The most muzzle energy of any 6mm ARC load
- Kicks about 8 percent less than Hornady's Precision Hunter 103-grain ELD-X in the same rifle
- Carries 1,079 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- The lowest G1 BC of the caliber's hunting loads, so it sheds speed fastest of them
- Down to 2,037 fps at 400 yards, the slowest of the loads compared
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
