Default sighting in a rifle shotgun barrel

What yardage do you sight it in? Not using a scope.

Default RE: sighting in a rifle shotgun barrel

Using slugs like the Win. Partition Gold in the rifled bore, I sight in @ 100 yards, then test-fire at 50, 75, 125 and 150 yards to determine exactly how far over/under they hit at these ranges, so I know exactly what my gun will do at all likely ranges.

Keep yore powder dry!!

According to the Tar-Hunt slug gun site, you should zero your slug gun at 50 yds to shoot 2 3/4" high. At 100yds it should be dead on. Check out the link to see the reasoning for this.
