Best investment I made is the Sitelite lazer bore sighter. This saves a ton of money on shells. Once I bore-site my gun, I at most have to fine tune it. A few guns I did, It was dead on with no further adjustment needed. It will absolutely get you on an 8x11 paper close to center. Then all the advice above is how I test to find the best choke/shell combo. At 15 bucks a shell, it pays for itself real quick. Good luck

its really simple really especially if you have a lead sled.

Shoot it at a LARGE piece of paper or cardboard at 10yds (field load). While in the sled, aim the dot at your poa and then move it to your point of impact (be sure to keep the gun still while doing it)

Move target out to 30 and shoot your turkey ammo. After the shot do the same thing. Move it to 35 or 40 and do it 1 more time to make minor adjustment and you are done.

1. Dont chase the bead, its a shotgun not a precision rifle so try to not keep doing micro adjustments.
2. Decide if you prefer 50/50 spread or something else. I personally sight mine in to be a tad high (more like 60/40) because I aim for the waddle and want the majority of the shot going above that and not into the breast.

you can do it without a sled the same way if you have someone there to help you move the dot but it may take a few more shots.

This is what I do except I shoot a target load at 20, then my TSS load at 20. (side bonus is that this doubles as a cheap way to verify your sight in the future)   Then repeat at 40.   Most times I use 2 TSS rounds, but occasionally 3 to fine tune at 40.

This is exactly how I sight mine in.  I prefer using a sled so I don't have the need to be making a lot of shots due to my failure in holding the gun steady. I use Dove loads at 10 yards shooting at 4 or 6 dots depending on how big your cardboard is. This way you are not doing a lot of walking back and forth and shortens your stay at the range. Once you do as reynolds243 says all you need is maybe 2 shots with TSS. Good Luck
