If you want to deal with the shooting high issue, address the rear sight first. The sight you have is battle zero for 300 meters with the 160 gr. M94 ammo. They will be close to zero at 400 meters with 140 gr. M41 ammo. You will be shooting real high at 200 meters with that sight. If the competiton rules allow, you may have three good choices.
First is the Swede Model 38 "T" sight (first graduation is 150 meters with M41 ammo). It will have a T stamped on it. Do not use the M38 sight that is graduated from 100-600 meters as this is calibrated for the M94 ammo.
Your second choice will be the M55 sight that was used on the M41B sniper rifle. It is graduated from 100-600 meters.
The last and preferred choice would be the M58 sight which is the same as the M55 but has windage screws. Some care needs to be taken with this one as it was replaced for field service with the M55 as the screws were a bit delicate for standard ground and pound service.
As to loads, the Swedes tend to prefer slower powders, slower than 4895 /RL15. That doesn't mean you can't work out a good load with them. I found a load with 3031 that works pretty good in one of my Swedes.
Does your Swede have a round brass disk on it? If so, read up on what the markings mean. This disk is fairly common. Does it have a squarish plaque on the stock with a bunch of numbers on it? Not so common...this is the correction factors for range based on M94 ammo / sight calibration to M41 ammo.
