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 200 yards.

Product Overview
CCI markets its Gamepoint 20-grain Jacketed Soft Point for small game. A jacketed soft point is a jacketed bullet with lead exposed at the nose, rather than a polymer tip. This one carries a G1 BC of .125 and leaves the muzzle at 2,375 fps.
Zeroed at 100 yards, the Gamepoint rises only 0.3 inches above the line of sight at 50 yards, so shots inside 100 need no adjustment. Past 100 it starts to fall away and lands about 3 inches low at 150. Wind moves it more than that. A steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes it about 4 inches sideways at 100 yards and about 9 inches at 150, so judging the wind is the bigger job on a longer shot. By 150 yards the bullet has slowed to 1,493 fps.
Buy the Gamepoint if you hunt small game, the use CCI markets it for, and want a soft point rather than a polymer tip. Pick Hornady's Varmint Express 17-grain V-Max if you shoot varmints, the use Hornady markets it for. It is a lighter polymer-tipped bullet that leaves the muzzle 175 fps faster, and the same wind pushes it about 8 inches at 150 yards against about 9 for the Gamepoint.
