To correct your present sights, the front sight would have to shortened about 0.029" if your sight radius is 6½".
The general formula is: Change In One Sight = (Sight Radius) X (Point Of Impact Change) ÷ (Range). Just make sure the units are all the same - whatever they are: inches, cm, rods, cubits, furlongs, etc.
But, if you're going to change both sights you'll have to get them installed first and then start fresh.
