Different weight bullets in differing velocity ranges can print several inches from point of aim.
For instance, 230gr 830fps FMJ is going to shoot to a much different point of aim than 1350fps 165gr+P JHP's.
So i would pick the load that comes closest to shooting X, then file the sights as needed from there.

Or you could always just paint over all three dots. I never have liked those things. It's impossible to get any sort of decent accuracy by trying to line up three dots. It's far, far easier to align a big fat post in a square notch, both for elevation and windage.

The white dots are for fast "good enough" shooting, they were never intended to improve accuracy. Many people shoot worse with 'em in the daytime, but at night, 3 dots are the cats meow IMO.
