well 158 is average for the caliber

Or at least it used to be. I think a lot of ammo has moved to 125s. I've seen 170-200 grain bullets used for IHMSA and I've seen case SWCs that were about 170, but this isn't all that much higher than 158. If your hot loads and light loads still shoot low then you will have to file the front sight.
Filing a front sight, be sure you don't accidentally ding the rear sight, be careful that you file it evenly side to side, and don't take off too much. It will only take a tiny bit.
