I shoot a .45 Colt lever gun with a tang sight in Cowboy Silhouette matches. I've been shooting 230gr LRN for the shorter range Pistol Cartridge matches then changing to a 250gr for 150 and 200 yard targets. The problem is I'm at the top of the sight adjustment on 150 yard turkeys and need to hold high on the back of 200 yard rams. I need to fix this.
I'm thinking of changing to a heavier boolit, like 300gr. The reason being that more recoil should elevate the Point of Impact - it does on my handgun. I'm not worried about taking the long range targets down, the lighter 230gr will knock them over (with a rainbow trajectory) - I'm just looking to elevate the point of impact.
Do you think a 300gr boolit at 750fps will raise the point of impact a couple of inches over the 250gr/750fps boolit?
