That taller front sight is the way to go, but the huge aperture at the rear and the usual windage issues with slower bullets is another source of frustration. I have found that using 25 grains less in bullet weight and 3-5 grains more powder (Speer TNT; 4895 burning rate powder, 2,900 fps) I have less recoil and am fairly close to the POI of M2 Ball ammo. Regardless, it is still not a 22LR or even a 223 in recoil or muzzle blast but it is a noticeable reduction.
