Default Krag front sight blade

Hey guys,
Took the Krag Cavalry Carbine out for the first time today. I'm shooting 4-6" high at 50 yards depending on load but 6" was at 2200 fps with 165g projectile. If I go up to 2350 ish I'll probably end up a little higher. Was the battle sight when the rear sight is flipped down set for a zero of 200 or 300 yards? I saw somewhere mentioning 400-500 yards also. I see Numrich has a front sight blade .413" high and my current one is .294". I think I only need 1mm so .33" ish to get it at 100 yards but I'll have to check next week at the range to say for sure. I'm about 1 inch to the left at 50 yards also but I don't think there is a windage adjustment on the 1898 Krag. If it's supposed to be that high then maybe I'll leave it but I can always switch it back. Maybe I can finangle a piece of brass and trim it till it's right on at 100 yards.
