150 grain handloads used to work beautifully for me. And as I don't like to think too much and didn't need to use the .30-30 for long range shots I zeroed at 100 yards dead on, and not knowing any better kept killing deer, not knowing or caring that I wasn't using the MPBR system. I have taken longer shots since them with other rifles zeroed using the MPBR system but almost every time old "aim high" birdie starts chirping on my shoulder and I hold high and shoot right over the top of them, so I still tend to zero dead on 100 yards.
