Okay.
I'm just trying to see if I'm using this thing right or if I'm screwing up somehow. I got an XS ghost ring setup for my 1894c in .357 mag. I was trying to zero it at 25 yards initially, to get it set up - then moved out to 50 yards. Incidentally, I was using my own reloads - 158 gr LSWC with 4.8 gr Unique. I ran out of elevation with the ghost ring - with the rear sight bottomed out, I'm still hitting approx 1" high at 25 yds. Moving out to 50 yds, I'm still high.
Now - am I screwed up or are the sights just the wrong height for me? Suggestions, please? I'm used to sighting in the military way, so it is probably the wrong way. Can anyone show me a trajectory curve with a standard .357 or .38 load so I can see the axis?
