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
Winchester's Super-X 40-grain FMJ is a closed-nose .22 WMR load made for target shooting. Winchester closes the nose of the bullet with the jacket, leaving no lead at the tip. It leaves the muzzle at 1,910 fps with 324 ft-lbs on a G1 BC of .113.
From a 50-yard zero it drops 1.9 inches at 100 yards and 8.8 inches at 150. A 10 mph crosswind moves it 13.2 inches at 150 yards, an inch and a half more than Fiocchi's Range Dynamics 40-grain FMJ.
If you're cross-shopping, CCI's Target & Plinking Maxi-Mag 40-grain TMJ starts 35 fps slower on a higher G1 BC and is 27 fps ahead by 100 yards. Fiocchi's Range Dynamics .22 WMR 40-grain FMJ matches its 1,910 fps start and drops 8.1 inches at 150 yards from a 50-yard zero.
- Tied with Fiocchi's Range Dynamics for the fastest start of the ball loads compared
- 10 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Federal's Champion 40-grain full metal jacket
- Sold in Winchester's Super-X line, which Winchester lists for hunters and shooters generally
- A lower G1 BC than the CCI and the Fiocchi, so both pass it inside 100 yards
- Federal's Champion 40-grain full metal jacket is the only ball load compared it stays in front of at 100 yards
