I'm not over joyed with it but it's not terrible I guess. Pic below poa is red dot. Looks like the pattern needs to be about 3 to 5 in. Higher what do you think? 3to5 higher will put close to 70% of the pattern above poa. 22 yards was distance. Looks like I'm limited to 20 maybe 25 yards on squirrels. Thinking of going to 1 1/2 oz instead of 1 1/4 oz #6. The pattern measures 15 in across, that's the dense part of pattern.
I counted 185 hits inside the 15 in.
Circle below in the pic. I circled each one with pencil as I counted so I would not double count any hits.

Lots of things to try
Where does it shoot round ball with the same hold?
You could file down your sight
Raise the charge a bit, but that often blow the pattern
Lean to hold a tad high
