Out of adjustment and still shooting high

[O T preacher]

My knight tk2000 is throwing a deadly pattern. about 10” high. I can’t lower the back sight any further. Any ideas? I am heading south to Florida and then Alabama and South Carolina and Kentucky. Then home. If I had time I would mount a red dot on it. I can hold low, if I remember to when a big gobbler is staring at me!!! But I’d rather have it shoot dead on. Load is 95gr 777 a 1/8” nitro card, a tps wad with 2 oz tss foam osc.

Have you tried playing with the powder load? up/down 5 to 10 grain increments I`d normally start at 50 g and work up 3-5 shots swabbing every 2nd to 3rd shot.

Taller front sight.

Carefully file the sight down until you're spot on at your given target distance.

I’d throw a red dot on it real quick.

 

[O T preacher]

That is exactly what I think

I’m going to shoot it tomorrow, I may move the sight back behind the primer.

carefull when you do, putting it behind the breech may get you blow-by right on to that lens.

Got it dialed in. Finally.

Good advice. That is exactly what happens.

You should be good to go! Got the FF in the right spot.
Best of luck with your hunts.
What loads did you settle on?

 

[O T preacher]

80gr 777. A X12X gas seal from BPI. A TPS 41 wad, 2oz tss. A standard over shot card.

 

[O T preacher]

In the loading process, it seems easier for me to remove the choke to seat the gas seal. Had a couple that went down edge ways. Probably a learning curve that I’ve not arrived to yet.

 

[gle3105]

OT, I use Eastern Maine - Wonder lubed wad for OP. Retrieved wads show no deformation. They might start a bit cockeyed but straighten out upon seating. One can hear the compression sound.
No need to take choke off.

Some people survive in a jungle, others live in a zoo.

Get a higher, taller rear sight.

A higher, taller rear sight will cause the shooter to raise the muzzle/front sight to meet up with the taller rear sight notch.

His shooting 10 inches high will become magnified.

Taller front sight or optics is the answer.
