I love the old .45-70 Jake. I have a few. Not exactly sure what the velocity of your LE ammo is I took a wild guess. And punching the numbers into a ballistic calculator I bet it you have your rifle set up for a 50 yard zero.
This is assuming your sight height is at 1.5". The 325 LE has a BC of .230 and I guessed the velocity to be about 1800 fps.
Actually with this ammo you should have been 1.4 high at 25 and 1.6 high at 100.
I sight my 45-70 dead on at 100 because I rarely get a shot beyond that.
