Nitro for black shooting too high

.500-3" BPE, Have found the load, 3 out of 4 R&L's will be touching but they will be 3 1/2" high at 50 yds. This with the tiny front bead at the very bottom of the rear "V".
At 100, two shots were 1 1/2" apart but 10" high - the bead was covering the bull completly so that may not be accurate.
Shooting parallel in all cases ie: not crossing.
Load is 53 gr. IMR 4198
2 foam wads
Montana Precision Swaging 365 gr. .512 lead bullet/SPG lube
Looks like the only cure is a higher front sight. Original has a stake on the sight, do I just use a brass punch on it or is there a better way? Thanks, Dave
