Chap is right but look closer at the chart... I am trying to achieve max trajectory so the actual dead zero is 139 yards... @ 100 yards the bullet is still up 2.4" on the target and @ 50 yards it is about 2.14" going up.

If you sight in @ 100 yards right on - then you can figure your 50 yard target will be about 1" to an 1 1/2 high, somewhere in there.

These numbers are also with a scope... if you are shooting open sights the numbers are a bit different.

These numbers are for the Gold Dot which has a higher BC than does the XTP so they are somewhat different than would be a XTP.

Ah heck! now you got my couriosity up so I went back and ran the numbers through the barnes calculator.

Zeroed @ 100
+.91" @ 75
+.92" @ 50
+.09" @ 25

These are all with a scope about 1.5" above the bore...
