I do mine different than most here. I take a 2 ft by 4 ft chunk of cardboard.
My targets are 1/2 inch circles with a small black dot in the middle. I will set it out 100 yards ( 223 only). I will fire 2 rounds in to each target. Both rounds need to touch each other and need to be in or tear the black dot. The issue with firing 20 or more rounds into one target is ( as others have said) You shoot the bullseye out and now you are putting bullets through a hole in the paper. You don't know where they are hitting, In essence- you are wasting bullets for a target that you don't know where they are going. When I can line 10 targets across and put 2 rounds in each one-In the black or tear it, then I am done.
Groups are great, but only if they hit the bullseye.
