I drifted the sight over and the next few shots were spot on windage.

Interestingly, I made a front sight out of a brass door lock key. Made it tall and took a file to the range. With a 6-O'clock hold, at 50yds, it was near perfect elevation!

Tomorrow I'll load some more ammo and take it out to 100yds and 200yds
 
Congrats,glad to see you had success . Looks like you have a winner on paper,that has to be a great feeling after all that work.
