Thank You to everyone for the great info.
I think next year I will invest in a peep sight setup and try out the 6 o'clock idea.
For this season I will keep the shots to a max of 100 Yards and a bit more practice.

In That order

In order to be zerod at 100yrds, would I want to be about 1" high at 50yrds?  I shoot 300gr bloodlines with 110gr fffg.

I recently removed the fibre optics from my muzzleloader, put on a williams peep and Lyman front globe (There’s a good write up on gohunt.com). Not a perfect setup, don’t like the dovetail ramp/globe (had to shim) also replaces the rear aperature with the “twilight” aperature. After working through all the little issues a can say 100 yards is EASY. My sights no longer cover the entire target and I can now aim for an actual spot. The twilight aperature made a more crisp sight picture.

Another vote for this setup.  Thankfully I didn't have the problems others commenting on that gohunt article had when mounting the front ramp/globe.  And the Merit adjustable insert that I'm using with my rear peep really helps adjust for distance and light conditions.  I did the peeprib instead of a standard rear peep, so I can add a scope for load development when I want.   I love this setup.

Just guessing but I think about 1.2-3" but you will not know until you shoot it and verify.  Computed ballistic sheet should be considered inly a very close approximate information.
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!
