Do you have adjustable sights? If so, move your rear sight up and to the left.

Different shells will have different points of impact,If you are deadset for shooting the Magblends you need to look into some adjustable sights or maybe a red dot sight.

I find it weird cause I changed choke tubes and took out my jellyhead and put in the undertaker. had a diffrent POI. But that shouldnt make that much of a diffrence should it? maybe its shooter error. ordered more shells even tho there so expensive but the 20 yard pattern crazy.

I like what Miram said about getting adjustable sights or a red dot. I think that MIGHT be your only option if that continues.

I out a Mueller MX-1 red dot on my Mossberg 835 and I have really good luck with it. One of the few red dot sights on the market that can consistently handle the beating a 3.5" Mag will dish out and still stay on zero.

That's what I need to do on my Mossberg as well. I'm looking at the Mueller Quick Shot, but I was also eyeballing the MX-1. they seem nice and at an affordable price.

You could always modify your sight picture slightly to cure the elevation issue. If you're sure the gun also shoots to one side, that can also be compensated for. Just don't forget when it comes time to shoot a bird.
