Mr. 16 gauge,

Since your trade gun has no rear sight, it is a simple matter to have a competent gunsmith fit one via a dovetail.

Heavier charges do not always give one a higher point of impact, at least not in some of my guns: they shoot lower. I suspect it is because of shorter barrel time and flatter trajectory. I'd bench test a heavier charge and see where it impacts after I had a rear sight to line things up. Hope this helps.

Adam
