To answer your question.  Aim and shoot, it isn't going to effect you in any "normal" sense.  I think this way with any of my rifles if its under 300 yards.  If you are a good shot, nothing else will matter enough.  If its beyond that, then experience needs to take over, and we can't give that to you.

Charts are a great rule of thumb and starting point, but aren't always correct in real world (so many variables, gun barrel, rate of twist, humidity, bullet weight, powder type and charge, shooters capability, etc., etc.). Sighting it in gives me peace of mind and confidence in the field!! If you are spending the money and time to travel that far and buy non-res. tags, a few shots at a target are well worth it.

Also, try a barnes TSX bullet. Expensive!!! Your gun with either shoot them incredibly well (better than any others), or will spray them worse than your 12 gauge. I have found that there isn't much in between with them. You will know pretty quick if they work well or not. Your gun will either love them or hate them.
