Normal height over bore is 2.6". Lower 1/3 is 2.8"The dirt splash makes good sense, however you have to consider height over bore.
Something I learned the hard way in a carbine class this weekend is with lower 1/3rd you have a large height over bore of like 3 inches, and also a 50/200 zero with a max 2 inch ordinate becomes with 55 grain ball a 50/250ish zero where your like 3ish inches high at 150. At about 150 I was aiming at the head of a mini IPSC and consistently putting shots right over the top. Also we ran a drill doing snap shooting on playing cards at about 10 yards and even holding at the top of the card if not trying to cheat up a bit I was still rather low barely clipping the bottom
Something to keep in mind for those of use who are not snake eating operators
It shouldnt be making that big a difference, if I'm understanding you correctly.
