I hear what you're saying about barrel time, heavier bullets taking longer to clear the muzzle, allowing recoil to impart more lift on the bullet. That said, the gun was originally black powder. I've never used black powder but everyone seems to agree that 144 grains of BP produces much more recoil. Wouldn't this added recoil also cause the bullet to impact higher? The rifle is a H&H royal and I tend to think that it didn't leave the factory shooting 6 inches high. I would much rather duplicate what it was intended to do rather than changing the sight.

The sight is a low profile with a platinum bead, and flip up night sight. The gun is near mint (in fact it may never have been fired outside of regulation before I got it) and a sight like the one on it is very expensive to duplicate today.

I thought this thread would generate more replies. Am I the only one that has had this problem?
