Slower bullet tend to print higher, ='s lowering the rear sight.
Heavier bullets tend to print higher, ='s lowering the rear sight.
A chart showing the correct rear sight height.
A formula to use to figure out your sight height/lowering adjustments.
Example:
I do a test load with a revolver and it's hitting 6" high @ 25yds.
9" x (6"/300)
9" is the distance between the front and rear sight
6" is how high (could be low/left/right also) the load is hitting
300 is how many inches the load was tested @ 25yds ='s 300"
6" divided by 300" ='s .02" or 2/100th's of an inch
9" x .02" ='s .18" or 18/100th's of an inch
If I want that load that's hitting 6" high to hit the poa. I have to lower the rear sight .18" (18/100th's of an inch).
