Anaconda rear sight elevation adjust?

If I'm not mistaken, all iron sights are in one minute of angle adjustments. So that would equate to four clicks. However, my adjusting has been the old artillery way, double the calculated adjustments and further by "brackting." So, take eight clicks and adjust from there as required.

Many feel the new Python/ Anaconda rear sights are crap. Wilson Combat is making new front and rear sights for them.

Load Info: 20 gr of w296, topped with a 240 gr (I think) Keith semi-wad cuttter (lead). Looks like this is slightly less thaan recommended by Hogdon !
It is a peppy load!
I have no complaints on the factory sights. I use the revolver just for target/plinking. I searched for a taller front sight, but cant seem to find a suitable one, with no fiber optic in it.

Where did you find a Hodgdon recommendation for that bullet? When I look at their on-line load data, the only load that comes up with a 240-grain bullet with Winchester 296 is for a Nosler jacketed hollow-point. And you haven't mention your C.O.L.
Based on that load (which, of course, doesn't apply because you are using a different bullet at an unknown seating depth), your 20 grains isn't "slightly less" than what Hodgdon suggests, it's quite a bit less. The suggested starting load from the on-line site is 23.0 grains, and the maximum is 24.0 grains. If those data could be applied directly to a different bullet, you would be 13% under the suggested starting load.
If possible, chronograph your load.
My old books show 20ish gr of 296 or H110 with a jacketed 240gr slug put you in the 1100fps range. And I don't think today's powder is quite the same as what was in the books 20-30 years ago...
The slower the bullet is, the higher on the target it will print. Sights scaled for full house loads may not have the adjustment for a light load, and that is what I think you are seeing here. Even if the load seems "peppy" to you.
Get your load clocked, and see what it really is doing. Once you know that, you can make informed decisions how to proceed.
