New to 30-30 WIN. My dad gave me a mint 30-30 (1978) WIN lever action with less than 100 rounds.
Worked up a load, NP 2250 fps, shooting 2.3" high at 50 yards and 4.3" high at 100 yards.
Windage ~ 1.5" right at 100 yards.
3 shot group 50 yards 3". 3 shot group 100 yards 3.47". Assuming this is decent for open sights, but again, I don't know what is considered acceptable. Any insight would be appreciated.
Regarding elevation, if I drop the rear sight one level, how much drop should I expect (1/2/3 MOA)? First time adjusting an open sight rifle.
I don't want to modify the sights. Trying to keep it as original as possible. The way dad had it.
Thanks
