Here is one that I use. I generally use the first row as sighters or warm up.
I use a dot but there are lines that can be used with crosshairs.

I usually crank in one or two clicks of down for groups to keep out of circle.

Much the same as John and Brett, I buy a roll of freezer wrap and sharpie a big + or stick on an orange dot or two. I’m a low tech cheap a$$ but it works great.
 
This is the funniest comment I've read in a long time.
Well the question from the OP struck me as kinda funny at 3:41am WC time when I took a beer break.
Before anyone says anything about drinking that early in the day, just maybe that's when my day ended.

For the OP
Here's a picture of charge weight testing for my 6.5-284, seating was done first but shot in same format 20231002_103851.jpg
Most times I put up 1 spot at distance and use colored bullets represented here. Dial off of your spot to retain your aiming point.20240410_100333.jpgsame target mapped out20240410_103129.jpg

I wanted to say thanks to everyone.

I do tend to keep my targets from Load development / testing.
I have used Sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 Paper with lines drawn on it and the red 1" Target stickers on the paper.
I have quite often used the Cover Stock Paper as it is heaver wight and bullets cut cleaner holes.

I do like the Idea of using Freezer Paper and drawing the Line on It with Vertical Lines every so far for aiming Spots. Again, for record keeping and all the notes for each grp / load shot. I do this as well for Seating Depth testing.

I have also used the Accurate Shooter Target with 8 Boxes with x-Hairs in each box to hold your sights on.

I write notes on each test target I shoot. Date, Caliber, yardage, Brass, Primer, bullet, powder, Load (Powder Charge Weight and seating depth). Wind conditions when shooting.
 
This is all I use for powder or seating depth. I just use the wind knob on my rest to get the next aim point. Most of my notes are written at the loading bench or on the brass itself.
