SodaPop. Sounds like your front sight is a tad too high. You might have to replace the rear sight to an adjustable type with the appropriate front sight, or very carefully remove a bit of the front sight. When I say "very cafefully", I mean VERY CAREFULLY. It's kind of hard to replace metal you've removed.
Your last alternative is to use a higher aiming point. Put a mark that is the amount higher needed to compensate for the drop of the bullet. Kind of a pain, but it works.
