Sighting In The 1851
IIRC, Pyrodex requires a certain amount of compression. Perhaps your light loads didn't compress enough? I've not shot any Pyrodex P (or any other grade) since sometime in the 20th Century, but that's what I recall.
I like the look of that sight, must be nice being able to see it clear like. I've been messing around with a Cometa air rifle with opens on it and find myself frustrated with fuzzy sights even with the long barrel.
