Default RE: Red dot for turkeys?

ORIGINAL: ironranger

I just put one on my Remington 870. I bought a Bushnell Trophy with the B Mount adapter for the Remington. It was around $109 from Cabelas and another $20 or so for the B mount adapter. I like it because it gives you different sight options...A small dot, large dot, crosshair (+), and a dot with a circle and another circle around it. Also has 11 brightness controls. That B mount gives you see thru mounting so if the battery on the red dot fails I can still see my bead on the end of the ventilated rib.
I just picked one of these up and was wonder how you went about sighting it in? What yardage did you shoot it at to get a nice hit? Did you keep shooting it until the most pellets hit where the red dot was centered on the turkey? Was there much adjustment that need to be done? I plan on dailing in at 30 yds and then check the patterns at 10, 20, 30, 40 yds. Any tips will be appreciated.
