So I had to bully someone on the road the other day

Alright so here's the situation, the speed limit was 70mph, I was cruising at around 75. Most semi trucks are governed around 65mph, so they pretty much always stay in the right lane on this road.

However, there was this white truck that was cruising at roughly 60, and i saw from pretty far back that the semi truck changed lanes to pass him, but then the white truck accelerated in the right lane to match the speed of the semi truck and was sitting just barely behind the rear bumper of the semi, sometimes going slightly ahead of the rear, sometimes trailing slightly back from it, but not giving the semi driver enough space to safely get back over. This guy was basically locking the semi truck in the left lane because he changed speeds while being passed.

So I'm sitting behind this semi as this guy is trapping it in the left lane for over a minute straight. Since he's not keeping a consistent speed, I wait until he trails back just enough to fit my car between the semi and him and I zipped in to get in front of the truck, then I just let off the gas, forcing the white truck to slow down and I gave the semi room to merge back over. He flashed his hazards once (i assume as a thank you) and then i resumed my previous speed and passed the semi, then got back into the right lane again and continued my journey.

I know what I did could be interpreted as reckless, but sometimes you have to bully the other bullies on the road.

Anyone elses 509 shoot really high?

At just 5yds, if I'm shooting at an 10 inch target, i have to put my front sight on the bottom edge of the target to hit center. Is this a problem for anyone else? I don't use an optic, just irons. It doesn't go left or right, just way above the sights.

No, I'm not jerking the trigger or flinching, i even tested in a vise and had several other people shoot it.

Yes, I'm lining up my sights correctly.

I use magtech 115 fmj for range ammo

I've tried two different barrels, both with and without a compensator.
