I know there will be variations based on different loads, but I’d like to get some general guidance if possible:
From 50 to 100, how many clicks are you moving your rear sight (stock rear sight from FA)?
100 to 150?
150 to 200?
Thank you!

Re: FA Rear Sight Question
FA has used different elevation adjustments. On yours, how many clicks per revolution?

Re: FA Rear Sight Question
Not sure how helpful this could be but here goes:
My FA is 44mag Silhouette model 83 where I have the adjustable front post hooded and rear sight is ISGW
ISGW on my FA has a revolution of 24 clicks
At the Paul Bunyan Range the Chickens are level - Pigs are up about 5 feet - Turkeys are up about another 5 feet - Rams are up about 15 feet from Turkeys. So Chickens at level Pigs at 5 feet, Turkeys at 10 feet and Rams at 25 feet total. This is my best guestimate but someone else may have a more accurate account.
So my settings that I use are Chickens at 5 clicks from "0" Pigs add 3 clicks = 8 Turkeys add 9 clicks = 17 Rams add 11 clicks = 28
I use the Sierra 220 FPJ Tournament, 24.5gr of 4227 & CCI-350 I haven't shot my 40 yet but I am still having fun knocking over the steel. It's just a matter of time and more practice because I know the pistol is capable and I am the one pulling the trigger.

Re: FA Rear Sight Question
This is great information for comparison purposes. Thank you for sharing.
So far, I am comfortable with my 50m 0 and my first take at 100m is +4 clicks. So we are comparable. I will be curious to see how 150 and 200 stack up.
Again, your feedback is much appreciated.
