Zero yardage

Keep in mind it's easier to aim low on a target rather than high because your sight blocks the view of the target.

With your powder load your muzzle velocity will be around 1570 fps.
I'm going to assume you only have a 25 yard range to do your sighting in so I based my figures on that range.

Sighted in to dead center at 25 yards the ball will hit 0.70" low at 50 yards, 3.5" low at 75 yards, and 8.6" low at 100 yards.

If you sight the gun in to shoot 0.4" high at 25 yards the ball will hit dead center at 50 yards, 2.3" low at 75 yards and 7.1" low at 100 yards.

If you sight the gun in to shoot 1.2" high at 25 yards the ball will hit 1.6" high at 50 yards. dead center at 75 yards and 3.8" low at 100 yards.

If you can, try to find a range that has at least a 50 yard target and do your sighting in using that distance. It makes small adjustments on the front sight height much easier to see what the results are.

Very helpful, good info. I may be picking your brain Zonie before I take my new gun to the range .

Yes, I like to aim at 6 o'clock rather then dead on.

I’ve often wondered where is 6:00 on this fellow?

Don't pick too hard. At my age, I need to protect all of my brain that's still working.

Seriously, use the data I provided as a starting place and a general guide to what you can expect to see. It isn't going to give you a "put it here and it will hit there" sort of exactness.

The only way to really find out what your gun is going to do is to go shoot it at the distances you expect to be using the gun at. Each gun is different so each gun will give you different answers when the actual shooting starts.
