I am sighting in a CVA sidelock.
It is hitting about a foot below the point of aim at 50 yards.
How much of the front site would I expect to file off to adjust for this.
The barrel is 1 in 48. I am shooting a .490 speer ball over 777.
I am getting a decent group at 60 grains by volume. It is taking a while to get use to BP. There seems to be a delay between pulling the trigger, cap firing, and detonation. It is all new to me.
I have fired up to 75 grains of powder with no appreciable increase in accuracy. I am reluctant to go too high because they recommend a powder charge that is 10% ot 15% less than BP.
