| Get a 6-48 tap from Brownells and a #31 drill. This is standard sight screw thread. Don't use any other size as it will screw up the next person that needs a screw for the hole. Leave at least .125 wall from bottom of hole to bore. |

| If you don't have a good drill press or milling machine take the gun to a smith to get the job done right. I can't tell you how many guns I have seen that have been ruined by home "gunsmithing".
Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.
