Many hunting rifles are used with scopes that max out at moderate levels of magnification (2-7 or 3-9). I have learned that the target used makes a big difference when shooting iron sights; is there a particular style of target that has proven more conducive to precision shooting with a scope?
1/2" Diamonds? 1" Circles? Thick-lined squares with blank interiors? I've seen a wide variety of target types, but I have only just now thought to keep track of which ones help me in my job of being consistent behind the rifle.
Also, since everyone has their own magnification preference for hunting, please let me know what magnification settings you use when shooting.
This information is particularly useful for finding loads for hunting rifles, doing load development, etc. I understand that I don't "need" some arbitrary standard of precision for my hunting rifles. Having a target that makes it easier on me to be consistent while developing loads seems to be useful toward finding the best loads.
