Current commercial hunting cartridges, that I'm aware of, come in 150 gr and 180 gr bullet weights.
Using the iron sights with the 150 gr cartridges, the bullets would shoot high.
The 180 gr would shoot close to the same trajectory as the 174 gr.

Thanks a lot. I had some 150s and they were really high. Just bought two boxes of 180 I’ll bottom out rear sight and try those at 100. So the marking work pretty close from there? Appreciate all the comments guys. I’d love to take a deer or bear with it if I can find an opportunity to not use my 270wsm
