What are the correct procedures to take? It's an 870 w/20" I.C. barrel.
For checking the sights, what should I pay attention to sighting in first, slugs(rifled) or buckshot? (I want the versatility of using either type of load at any time. Are separate adjustments needed for each type of load-or just height compensations when aiming?)
