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 400 yards.

Product Overview
Winchester's Super-X 123-grain SP is a jacketed soft point 7.62x39mm load made for deer and for predator and varmint shooting. Winchester calls the bullet a Power-Point, with the lead left bare at the nose. It leaves the muzzle at 2,365 fps with 1,527 ft-lbs, the fastest start of the caliber's hunting loads, and has a G1 BC of .244.
Zeroed at 100 yards, it drops 7.0 inches at 200 and 25.7 inches at 300, where 589 ft-lbs are left.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady's SST 123-grain starts 15 fps slower on a G1 BC of .295, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 23.8 inches at 300. Prvi Partizan's 123-grain PSP is another bare-lead soft point and from that zero drops 25.4 inches at 300.
- The most muzzle energy of the brass-cased hunting loads in the caliber
- A brass case, where Brown Bear's 125-grain SP is steel and will not reload
- Still moving at 1,733 fps at 200 yards
- The lowest G1 BC in the caliber, so the muzzle speed is spent by 300 yards, where Hornady's SST 123-grain is 121 fps faster
- Brown Bear's 125-grain SP matches it at the muzzle on a heavier bullet
