My standard target for a long time now has been bulk paper plates. The 9-10" ones get used at 100, the small 4-6" (I'm not really sure of the exact dimensions, but there are large and small ones) get used at 50.

The white disk sets nicely on top of the dark front post. If setting the rifle up to shoot "on" at 100 , I accept the bullet group at the 6 o'clock position using the same hold.

With a bead front and a peep, you can use a similar 6 o'clock hold, or center the bead on the plate, with the group landing accordingly.

If I'm shooting a scoped rifle, I use the small plates with a marked in or stick on center dot.

Cheap and you can buy in bulk.
