Bill, my old eyes have the same problem, i use
a bright green paint on front sight, helps me.

As for reloading i load in groups of 5 if it
shoots good I will then load ten to test,I
always shoot test loads from a sitting position.

Once I have a load I like i will load no more then
50 to start, it just does not pay to load up 500
and find they arent all that good.

After much testing my present fun load and very
accurate is 4.1grs of titegroup with a 200swc.
This load from a rest in my springfield loaded
will shoot 1.5inch groups at 25 yds., it is a lite load not much recoil, I find lite loads are more accurate.

I also use red dot,W231 and bullseye powder, but
have excellent results with titegroup and I
always use 200gr swc in lead or plated.

One of the best help with old eyes is cheap reading glasses in low power it helps to clear
front sight and target,i have not had any luck
with bi-focals.Good luck and keep trying the Kimber should get 1-2inch groups with correct
load.
