Solved from this product's advertised 1910 fps, 40gr bullet and G1 BC 0.117, 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
Remington markets its 40-grain JHP for small game. The bullet is a jacketed hollow point, with a lead core in a copper jacket and a hollow nose. Remington rates it at a G1 BC of .117 and a muzzle speed of 1,910 fps, which makes it the faster starter against the CCI and Armscor 40-grain hollow points a buyer is likely to weigh it against.
Compared with CCI's Varmint Maxi-Mag 40-grain JHP, the Remington starts 35 fps faster, 1,910 against 1,875 fps, and it has the higher G1 BC, .117 against .114. Downrange the two stay close. At 150 yards, a steady 10 mph wind blowing across the range pushes the Remington about 13 inches sideways and the CCI about 13, and zeroed at 100 yards both drop about 6 inches. Compared with Armscor's 40-grain JHP, the Remington carries 12 ft-lbs more energy at the muzzle, 324 against 312.
Buy the Remington if you want a 40-grain hollow point that its maker markets for small game, with a faster start than CCI's or Armscor's. Pick CCI's Varmint Maxi-Mag if you want the load CCI markets for varmints; downrange it gives up less than an inch. CCI's Pour Pack Maxi Mag 40-grain is the same CCI load with the same figures. If you would rather shoot a full metal jacket bullet, Winchester's Super-X 40-grain FMJ starts at the same 1,910 fps as the Remington.
- Holds 1,355 fps at 100 yards, 37 fps more than CCI's Pour Pack Maxi Mag 40-grain
- Leaves the muzzle 35 fps faster than Armscor's 40-grain JHP
- Remington markets it for small game; CCI markets its Varmint Maxi-Mag 40-grain JHP for varmints instead
- Lands within an inch of CCI's Pour Pack Maxi Mag 40-grain in wind and drop at 150 yards, so the extra speed changes little
- By 150 yards its lead over CCI's Varmint Maxi-Mag 40-grain JHP is down to 29 fps, 1,158 against 1,129
- Its G1 BC of .117 is only a small step up from the .114 of CCI's Pour Pack Maxi Mag 40-grain
