Red Dot Range Target

I'm putting a Burris XTS-135 XTREME TACTICAL SPEEDDOT RED DOT SIGHT on my 6.8 RRA AR and was trying to come up with the best target to site in and target shoot at. Maybe barking up the wrong tree here as you all seem to shoot scopes. I'll be doing close work here in NH. No more than 125 yds. Plus, it will be winter white and thick cover. So a good target you maybe know of or use can you let me know were I can get one.

I got some targets off one of those free sights that are just a 6" circle with a 1" wide broader they work real well at 100yrds with a red dot sight.
If i can find it i will shoot you the link.

Here are some good targets in pdf:

What MOA is the dot size? If 4MOA I'd think you'd want to try a 4" target at 100 yards. Maybe a bigger one as long as the center of it matches dot size. I've never used a dot sight but I'm curious about the process myself. Post results, good and bad.

peace.

The MOA is 3. Also it is a 1x-35mm

Gary sent me a page and it is just what I was looking for. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif I found great circles to shoot at.

4) Yellow 3" Circles with heavy black outlines.
(4) White 3" Circles with heavy black outlines.

Perfect to get the site tuned in. Then I found

8" yellow circle target. Great for fast target acquisition and rapid fire.

This is my first red dot, as well as my first AR. I'll be glad to post all that happens.

I have my load ready for the 6.8. A Speer 90 grn TNT.

Reloader 7 28.0 - 28.6 grns
Rem 9 1/2 primers
Rem brass
OAL 2.280

Talk on the 6.8 forum is in a 16" barrel I should get 2800 fps. That is like WOW. Will see as I have a ProChrono Digital and will post the speed. The B.C. of the TNT is .303. This should shoot flat and hit hard. Speer 90 grn Ballistic gelatin test was great too! It all stayed in a 12" path. Just right for coyotes.

Thanks for all your post. I have all the sites in my favorites. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
