I just loaded a bunch of Hornaday 240 grain swc lead bullets. Used unique at 1/2 grain off the top listed load. Shot way high at 100 yards. My sights are set using XTP 240 and some 180 hps. These are HOT LOADS using H110.
I would have expected the lead to be actually a lot lower than the other loads, not higher. THOUGHTS?

The slower moving bullets has more dwell time in the barrel, thus will strike higher.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

That has been my experience also.
