Yes correct, I looked for POI compaired to POA. IME, if your shotgun "fits" you, POI&POA are the same..if not, get another shotgun. ONE reason I have ONE shotgun, many rifles.
2nd reason to patten, consistency of the pattern, full& round, any holes etc. with more than one shot fired. did this with all my reloads, varying components, powder charge, shot cups, crimp pressure. Hulls remained Win AA, low brass.
Shot size was important...went to 4`s, 1 1/4 oz. Killed very well, patterned very well, both in IC and Mod in my gun. I worked over pointing dogs..so many shots were close...20-30 yrds. Gun and load did everything I asked them to do.
