As a lower cost practice load, the 2.75 Winchester Foster slug hits the same POI as the Brenneke 2.75 Classic Magnum, and hits your shoulder just as hard.
I use a 25 yard initial zero, which is a tad high at 50, back on about 75, and dropping a few inches at 100. I have a rifle sighted Super 90, and the elevation is perfect at 25 with the fixed rifle sights. JDM has the twin to this shotgun. One of them went to Zambia with me, and I had it on a lion hunt, and used it to follow up a big, blond maned lion (that expired from one shot of .375 Trophy Bonded.)
