i sighted in my new H&R 20 ga. tracker 2 sunday, and it is zeroed at 50 yards. now i looked at the box of the hornady sst's that i am shooting it, says that it should be 2.5 inches high, will that through me off with these trajectories or will the 100 and 150 and 200 be 2.5 inches less?

-8.2
No. IF you have to zero +2.5" at 50 to be dead on at 100, and you zero it dead on at 50 instead, it will be over -5" @ 100, as the range has doubled. Bullets drop much faster in relation to the line of sight after they cross it dropping! So your slug would be close to -15" at 150 yards, and over 2' low at 200 yards. Shoot these distances, you will see what I mean!
