Solved from this product's advertised 1910 fps, 40gr bullet and G1 BC 0.113, 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's Premier Magnum .22 WMR 40-grain is a pointed soft point load Remington markets for small game. A lead tip is drawn to a point ahead of the copper jacket. It leaves the muzzle at 1,910 fps with 324 ft-lbs on a G1 BC of .113.
From a 100-yard zero it drops 5.8 inches at 150 yards, and it passes 100 yards with 159 ft-lbs. CCI's Gamepoint 40-grain jacketed soft point starts 35 fps slower and is 47 fps in front of it at 100 yards.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's Field Dynamics .22 WMR 40-grain jacketed soft point matches its 1,910 fps start on a higher G1 BC and drops 5.4 inches at 150 yards from a 100-yard zero. Winchester's Dynapoint 45-grain CPHP starts 360 fps slower.
- No 40-grain .22 Magnum load starts faster
- The most muzzle energy of the soft points compared, tied with Fiocchi's Field Dynamics
- Drops 1.9 inches at 100 yards from a 50-yard zero
- The lowest G1 BC of the soft points compared, which puts both jacketed soft points in front of it by 100 yards
- A lead tip at the nose, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
