Solved from this product's advertised 1875 fps, 40gr bullet and G1 BC 0.100, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .22 Magnum.
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. Dashed line: where the bullet goes subsonic. 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
Armscor's 40-grain jacketed hollow point is a plain .22 Magnum load made for small game and target shooting. There is nothing to the bullet beyond a lead core, a copper jacket and an open nose. It leaves the muzzle at 1,875 fps with 312 ft-lbs and a G1 BC of .100.
With a 50-yard zero it drops 2.3 inches at 100 yards, and from a 100-yard zero it drops 6.6 inches at 150 yards, the most of the 40-grain hollow points compared. CCI's Varmint Maxi-Mag 40-grain JHP leaves at the same speed and is 61 fps ahead by 100 yards.
If you're cross-shopping, Remington's Magnum rimfire 40-grain JHP starts 35 fps faster on a G1 BC of .117 and holds 1,355 fps at 100 yards. Fiocchi's Defense Dynamics 40-grain matches that 1,910 fps start on a G1 BC of .114.
- 312 ft-lbs at the muzzle, 12 short of the caliber's fastest 40-grain loads
- At 40 grains it carries more bullet weight than every tipped varmint load in the caliber
- Within two tenths of an inch of CCI's Varmint Maxi-Mag 40-grain JHP at 100 yards from a 50-yard zero
- The lowest G1 BC of the 40-grain bullets compared, so it is last of them at 100 yards
- A lead core under the jacket, so lead-free ground is out
