    Theoretically a heavier bullet should print higher.

    Put a dab of JB Weld on the rear site, keep adding
    or filing off for site impact.
    You can also notch it later for windage.

    Once you've got it high enough and properly notched I recommend a coat of Dutch Boy paint, preferably in Boer bore, not exciting, but better than boring, black.

    I shoot a Parker Hale and my sights aren't stock. Load is RCBS Hogdon with tall base plug. Bullet weighs about 375. Shoots 2moa with 42 gr 3f Old E, RWS caps, beeswax/lard lube.

    I apologize for writing this. I don't know what got into me. I had a friend condemn me to the infernal regions for a similar piece a while back.

    Well had a buddy lay a couple beads of weld on the rear sight to help raise the POI it. I plan on playing with some loads that are lower as well to see if they group well, gonna start at between 35-38gr. Hopefully the rear sight alone will help raise POI using my 45Gr load since I know that one is good, just a foot Low.
