And tried many different loads in each. I am shooting 30 herrett, 357 herrett and 44 mag. any suggestions will we helpful and appreciated

You need to sight it in at least 25 yards . Then try 50 yards . I think 15 yards is too close .
My two cents worth.

This i understand but if it shoots this high at 15 yards it is even higher at 25 .That is what i need to correct. and 50 yards it would not even be close to the paper.

Are all of these iron sights ? Are they all new or were they used? Are you gripping it the right way ? Are you following through on the shot? Is your grip tightend & not loose?

yes these are iron sights. 2 of them are new 1 used. i have tried to grip the gun sevral diffrent ways loose and tight.

Slower loads tend to shoot higher.

Try shooting your barrel at 50 yards. Do too recoil and such you will be a little high up close but you may be just fine by 50 yards.

I was trying to figure out if maybe you had a barrel with the wrong size front sight on it. Since ther are two new ones, That is not likely.

Did you check the gripscrew to make sure it's tight? If it isn't that could let the frame move when firing it.

Have you tried shooting it off sand bags & see if it is you, that might be the problem? You could be anticipating the recoil & doing it unknowingly.

Try lighter bullets and faster, heavy slower bullets are still in the barrel and as it moves up under recoil.

thanks for all of your help hopfuly i can get it worked out if not ill just take my shotgyn. thanks agian
