[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 972547, member: 6452"] I mainly shoot steel. For my 12" steel i put a 4" diameter circle of contrasting spray paint. I made a cardboard template to make a nice lean circle. Set the 12" out to 600 yards for a 2MOA target. Deer don't have bullseyes on them anyways. Also have a 8" steel I set out to 400 and a 4" that goes to 200. Always 2 MOA which is what I hope to be able to hit from field conditions. Never been impressed with people being able to hit a 24"-36" wide plate as that could easily be a miss on game. For ladder testing I use a sheet of 48" butcher paper and use my same 4" cardboard telplate to put a dot of spray paint. I adjust my scope to hit off to one side so ican see bullet holes on clean white paper. After initial load development I quit shooting groups and never shoot paper. Hits on kill zone sized steel are all I care about after that and getting in to position and quickly ranging and getting a shot off are more important than squeezing another .1" out of a group.
