Most commercial sighting in targets sold at retail level have 1" squares.

Or you can save yourself money and just use a bullseye target and walk your rounds to where you want your gun sighted in like I did with my .270. It took me four shots plus 2 more to verify the setting. The top shot was my first one and then I just walked my shots down to where I wanted them.

This is the standard M16/M4 target pattern. If this is the target pattern PDF you downloaded, it is printed on standard letter 8.5x11" paper. For proper scale, ensure the squares on the target are 1centimeter in size.

I'm way too cheap to use real targets very often. I do recycle ...so I keep the 1.5" dot sticker from the CD recording label page. Works great at 100 yds on clean cardboard. Many scopes are set up for 1/4 min adjustments so it isn't hard to fine tune your POI.

For sure, a shoot-n-see works great because a .22 size hole is not easy to see with my scope! :D mostly keep those for the grand kids!:D
