The .30 Super Carry reference load above as a wallet-size DOPE card: the same zero, standard conditions, holds in MOA, a 10 mph wind column, and a blank column to write in what the rifle actually does.
Download it as it is, or customize the size (turret cap, armband, index card), the columns, the wind speeds and units.

Zeroing the .30 Super Carry
Every table in this section uses the same reference load as the calculator above, 115gr G1 .180 at 1,150 fps, with a 0.5" sight height over the bore, at standard conditions (59°F, sea level, no wind for drop; 10 mph crosswind for drift). Handgun zeros are short because the sight sits close to the bore and the bullet arcs little inside 50 yards; the choice is really about where you want the crossover. Change the bullet, velocity or sight height in the calculator above to solve your own load.
.30 Super Carry zero comparison
| 10-yd zero | 15-yd zero | 25-yd zero | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Near zero | 10 yd | 15 yd | 15 yd |
| Far zero | 35 yd | 24 yd | 25 yd |
| Max ordinate | +0.2" | +0.0" | +0.0" |
| Max ordinate distance | 23 yd | 19 yd | 20 yd |
| Hold-dead-on window (4" vital zone, ±2") | 0–61 yd | 0–56 yd | 0–57 yd |
| Sight in at 25 yd | +0.2" (+0.8 MOA) | 0.0" (-0.1 MOA) | 0.0" (+0.0 MOA) |
| Drop at 50 yd | -0.9" | -1.3" | -1.3" |
| Drop at 100 yd | -9.0" | -9.9" | -9.8" |
| Energy at 50 yd | 288 ft-lb | 288 ft-lb | 288 ft-lb |
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 100 yards.
Key terms
- Near zero
- Where the bullet first climbs up through the line of sight. It starts below the sight, because the sight sits above the barrel.
- Far zero
- Where it falls back down through the line of sight. A "200-yard zero" is the far zero; the near zero comes with it.
- Max ordinate
- The highest the bullet gets above the line of sight, between the two crossings. This is what makes a zero shoot high in the middle.
- Point blank range (MPBR)
- The zero that keeps the whole arc inside a vital zone for the longest distance, so you can aim at the centre and hold dead-on.
.30 Super Carry with a 10-Yard Zero
Zeroed at 10 yards with a 0.5" sight height, the 115gr load crosses the line of sight on the way up at 10 yards, peaks +0.2" at 23 yards, crosses back down at 35 yards, and is -0.9" at 50 and -9.0" at 100 yards. It drops below the speed of sound at 13 yards.
