Default Sight in for 370 gr Maxi Ball

Pglasgow and Cayugad. I just puta new front sight on my Bobcat (actually the original front site). The back sight is still the Lyman Hunter. I had the combo, but I could not get my 80 grain load with the Maxi Balls any higher than dead even elevation wise at 50 yards, which put me about 8 inches low at 100 as I recall. I have lived with this the last two years, but want to get to where I am about even the whole way out to 100 with no more than 3 inches high at any point. The velocity as I have chronographed is 1200 FPS. Figure on 6500 feet elevation as that is the minimum I sight in and hunt at.

Thanks,

Marcial

P.S. I have been thinking about shooting the Buffalo Ball et's this year, but figure I REALLY like the way this load thumbs elk, and will apply for cow elk ml again, so going to stick with this load.
