Ruger blackhawk 45 colt,shooting 315gr Kieth style bullet @ 1050fps through a 4 5/8" barrel hits 8" high.Front sight is .335".How much higher does the front sight need to be to hit 2-3" high or my rear sight is bottomed out how much would I need to take off?
To be honest, there is no way to tell, exactly. Shooter's grip has as much to do with elevation as do the sights on those plowhandles, especially the shorties.
What distance? I wouldn't think more than 1/16" would be needed.
Doin' a JB Weld build-up?
