[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5564560, member: 131"] Use a paper target about 36" x 36" so you can see majority of the pellets. I start by sighting in light load lead #9s (7/8 ounce = 512 pellets), as I want maximum pattern density so I can somewhat pick out center of pattern on paper. I'm not a fan 20G #5s/#6s etc as the pellet count is too low to see much about center of pattern at 30+ yards. Start at closer ranges to get POA=POI, then get the lead #9s hitting about 1" low at 30 yards, then put the expensive TSS shells in ([I]typically hotter load, which likely equates to higher POI[/I]), and fine tune it at 40 yards, hopefully with 2-3 TSS shells. Set it, forget it, and save your time, money and headache going forward. My .02 [/QUOTE]
