Is there a way to zero red dot w/o shooting?

there are "bore sights" which look like cartridges that project an LED beam through the barrel in lieu of punching paper.

My cousin also has a "smart" red dot that can adjust itself once you provide ammo information. It automatically adjusts the reticle!

  My only red dot experience was shooting a friend's Glock 19 with a red dot sight. Pretty cool for plinking and paper target shooting but my personal preference is for simplicity with the most basic factory sites on my pistols. The red dot site was almost like "cheating" ;-)
  I have nearly zero experience with rifles but I was truly amazed shooting a friend's hunting rifle at an outdoor range that he used for adjusting his sites before hunting season. I can't tell you what rifle it was but even I was able to bulls-eye a target from 100 yards looking through the scope. I think it was .30-06 but not sure. Yeah, I know.... that's not far but it still amazed me!

    designed from the outset to be suppressed, uses a new cartridge called the 8.6 Blackout, weighs about five pounds, delivers 1 MOA accuracy to 300 yards subsonic and can take down virtually any African game. That's the Q Boombox .
    We're going far afield of original topic but you might search YouTube for videos. My cousin has a 300 Blackout version called the Sugar Weasel. They are hand built by a small company to the most rigorous and precise standards for an incredible feel and performance. It has a more refined and proprietary brother called the Honey Badger. I want one or the other of the last two. Its designers were involved in the development of the ammunition and do work for SOCOM.
