For those of you with .300 SBRs who like to shoot both supers and subs through it, what optics/zero set up do you go with? Does a 100 yard super zero equate to a 50 yard sub zero? Does anyone run something like the Burris Tac30/Fastfire combo to two different sights for either type of ammo?
No SBR here, but vectorsc was running and he was/is using a S&B 1-8 with a fast throw lever. He would just confirm sub zero and super zero, and had a table of drop for both out to whatever yardage. So if set for subs and wanted to run zuper, would dial variance for super "zero" and then run changes from there.

Kyle DeFoor mentioned that he had a process for this in one of the P&S podcasts. Might try to hit him up.

Have a couple 300BLK SBRs with Vortex Razor 1-6 and IOR Valdada 1.5-8 on them. Also have 556s/762s that are setup like SPR's with longer range matching MIL/MIL turret/reticle scope on top coupled with red dot off to the side and ACOGs. They all work great and I have them all zeroed the same way; First zero with super sonic ammo, then record DOPE at 25 meter intervals for subsonic ammo out to the range where you feel effectiveness for your application drops off. Should be able to do the same thing with the TAC30, just a little different because it has a BDC reticle instead of sub tended hash marks in MILS or MOA.
How far out do you plan to push your supers in 300BLK? I think that's what it comes down to.
