To answer questions, I'll say I shoot at 200 and 300 yds. from time to time.
OK, your rifles shoot 1 inch groups at 100 yds. I like to zero mine from 2-2.5 inches up at 100 yds. Then I shoot both 200 and 300 yds. to see where they hit. Usually I'm on, or close to it at 200 yds. and anywhere from 4-9 inches down at 300 yds. depending on which rifle and which load.
I like very large 28X28 inch targets with large, round stick on, orange centers. I use the back of the standard, 200 yd. military type targets. On these, I place 6 inch bulls for 200 yds. and 8 inch ones for 300 yds.
Since I have no trouble seeing .25 caliber bullet holes with my Nikon 82mm ED spotter set on 40-56X, I recommend something like that. Keep in mind that magnification alone won't do it. I've seen $150 spotters that couldn't reliably show me .30 caliber holes at 100 yds. Plan on spending enough to make it happen. An 82mm spotter, as a rule will be sharper than a 50-60mm one. E
