I have been wanting to take a deer this year with my Dad's old custom .54 side lock, but for some reason it continues to shoot low. I have tried both round balls and conicals with 80 and 90grns of Triple Seven. I can get them to group, but everything is about 6 inches low. The iron sights are not adjustable, so my question is do I need to file the front sight at this point? I could just aim high but I would prefer not to do that. If I do need to file the front sight, approximately how much should I take off? It is about 6" low at 50 yrds. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
