Gary has nailed it. The first thing I do when I buy a new gun is to take it out and pattern it with the load I plan on shooting it with. Nothing can show you where the gun prints like your face on the stock and pulling the trigger/s on a live round or two.

What Daryl said.

Get some paper and some shells and shoot 13 yards from the patterning board for determination of the POI.

Next do 33 yards for analysis of the pattern.
