front sight height help

[CINDERS]

There were scads of threads on this very subject I was looking them up for E when I got locked into 2008 for some reason.
Best thing to do E is to do range time with this pet load and mark the setting down on a range card like we all have done and go from there honestly you will save yourself allot of grief because the trajectories of the Mk VII Ball and your load are vastly different and the POI will vary every range IE going from 400-500 may still not marry up with the settings.
I have 5 shooters they all have range cards all shoot the same load I know my T scope is basically +50yds on top of the range being shot (Thank goodness for sighters)

Like Peter has said you may be at 500 you know your sight settings with your load is say 525 +2 clicks.

Look up the threads on the matter the digest what is being said then make your decision, I never see getting range time to do up a DOPE card a problem on a nice fine day with some mates.

Everything was set for the factory load. No one seems to take that into account when their load is so far out. How does it do at 100 or 200?

read all that but its nothing to do with what I asked.

If I shoot with Mk7 ammo and have to put the sights 100 yards higher than the target range how much lower foresight do I need to put on the rifle? there must be some reference chart to use for this. some one must have worked it out years ago.
With this rifle if I shoot with Mk 7 or my hand loads I hit almost the same spot on the target at 400 500 and 600 but the sights are not calibrated properly. The sights that are on the rifle are replacements that I put on. The front and rear sights were missing and a no drill scope mount was fitted to the rifle when I got it.
I have searched the topics and have not found what I need to know. The other choice is to buy a selection of front sights and try untill I find the correct height.
thanks for helping me with my frustrations

Seems you have a problem then. We've come up with various things...maybe you should go back to the drawing board.
