I fired this target last Saturday. As you can see it groups high and the rear sight is as low as I can get it:

Now, in examining the rear sight it does not seem bottomed out, but the elevation screw seems to have bottomed out. Should this (Colt Accro) sight bottom out on the frame? In other words, is the elevation screw too long? I can see the bottom of the screw in the frame, don't know if it would pass through or not if the hole were opened up. I know the screw passes through far enough to score the cylinder on a Ruger Blackhawk. If this were to be the case, the screw could be shortened.
Anybody's suggestion would be welcome.

P.S. This is a good load in my 44 Specials, not wanting to create a load dedicated solely to this gun.
