Ohiochuck,
You didn't mention what type rifle you are loading for. If it is a single shot rifle or an insert barrel(einstecklauf), then either the sights or the insert can be adjusted for point of impact. On the other hand, if it is one of the several configurations of combination guns with a large caliber rifle, it may not be easy to find a proper load. The sights(scope)should match the large rifle, so you don't have the option to change the sights. Therefore, unless you have something like a BLAZER with adjustable barrel, you will pretty much have to match the ballistics of the load it was regulated with. There were loadings available with pretty wide differences, depending on age and intended use of the gun. There was an article in the latest( number 56, I think)WAIDMANNSHEIL that addresses this. The various levels of available ammunition is shown in the article and gives guidance as to velocity/bullet to match and hopefully find a useful point of impact. Reprints of WAIDMANNSHEIL are available from The German Gun Collectors ASSN., for a nominal price.
