Sighting in a slug gun, need some people with experience

[saxrulez]

I'm going to be hunting here with a slug gun for the first time. Unfortunately there are no ranges further than 25 yards for me to sight in the new slug gun setup! I'm going to be using a remington 1100 smoothbore IC choke with rifled slugs.

The range I'm going to is only 25 yards and I have no experience with the trajectory from a slug gun. What do most people sight them in at? I believe the average shot I may be taking will be ~50 yards. I'm going to try and get a few more types of slugs to experiment with(currently have 2 boxes of Winchester Super X).

Thanks for any advice.

I would love some numbers. E.G. Zero'd for 100 yards is "X" inches high at 25 yards, etc etc.

Hey, perhaps you can learn something from my slug sight in experience using twin beads:

Awesome, those are exactly the numbers I was looking for. I'm going to go with about 1.25" high at 25 yards which will zero me at ~85ish yards(probably the max that I am likely to shoot where I am hunting).

Thank you for the numbers, VERY helpful!

Gotta find a mount for my sight on my shotgun now. I can't decide whether to use my el'cheapo bushnell scope that originally came on my rifle or pull the eotech off the AR-15 for a few weeks. Leaning towards pulling the eotech off right now.

EOTech.

The el cheapo scope may not hold a zero. That happened to me.
