    OK thats an interesting take on it
    Certainly another way of looking at things
    Counter intuative

    I would like to know what its doing before I make a new front sight

    Load up 5 rounds with 90 grains and fire from a clean dry bore.

    See what happens then.Firing two shots at a time is not really going to give you the data you need.

    Especially since the Gun isn't a known quantity, ie you shot well with it with another load and now you are off trying something different.

    So I have been looking for a shorter better front sight in my odds and ends
    Found a couple of likely candidates

    Then I though if I changed my sight picture hold it would dramatically change the elevation and give me a better view of my target animal

    Option 1 is my usual hold for accuracy

    Option 2 might be better to lift the group and give me a larger visible area of a deer
    Post lines up with silver line in express sights
    Bead in line with sight top shoulders
    Plenty of space still visible of an animal in the V

    Front sight effectively 2mm lower so point of impact will be considerably higherName:  20200303_121323.jpg

    Option 2 would be the normal sight hold with a Vee and blade

    Really, heck I use Option 1 with all the Express sights I use & they seem to regulate with the loads the rifles were made for ?

    I don't have any experience with proper express sights and can't comment on them, but with a Vee and blade as drawn in option 2 the vertical line of the blade and the horizontal line across the top are used to keep the rifle square and not canted.
