What are the benefits of using a laser bore sighter?

The primary benefits are saving ammunition and time. Instead of firing multiple shots to get on paper, a laser bore sighter allows you to align your sights with the barrel's bore quickly, making your first shots at the range much more accurate.

The reviewed laser bore sighter comes with adapters that allow it to fit a wide range of firearm calibers, specifically mentioned as supporting from 12 gauge down to 17 caliber.

How can I use a laser bore sighter for initial zeroing?
