My Krieghoff "Teck" O/U .458 WM double rifle wears a Lyman All American 2 1/2X scope. Before I went on my first African hunt, back in the early 70's, I used to shoot it on the skeet range, using .410 factory loads. There was no question of reloading the shells afterwards, but the little cartridges made a respectable pattern with the AA wads protecting the barrel. The number of birds I broke was comparable with what I did with my Winchester Model 42 skeet gun and the same cartridge. It was wonderful training for the unexpected opportunity, since I shoot international style, with the gun at my hip when the bird is thrown.

I look at reflector sights and the like as just another attempt to replace skill with technology. My PH described to me how one of his previous clients had missed out on easy shots at kudu and leopard because he couldn't find them in the scope. Practice, and lots of it, are needed to solve that problem.
