I just picked up an 18" gong from grizzlytargets to attempt some mile + shots with the TRG-42 in .338LM that I just picked up. It'll be right at or slightly smaller than MOA depending on the range. Should I try and find a slightly larger piece of steel (Maybe not AR500...but at that range it shouldn't matter)?

I try to stay with at least 1MOA target size. 2MOA is better for those nasty long distances. It's a lot easier to correct for a sloppy hit on a 2MOA target than a complete miss on a 1MOA target. That said, a 40-something inch wide circle is a lot of steel to hump around. The 18" gong might not be perfect but it'll work out to 2k if you and your kit are up to the task.

Just had my local target guy cut me a 36 inch by 36 inch 3/8 Ar500 steel square with holes in each corner. Also came up with a pipe stand to hold it.
Figure that will get me to 2000 yards pretty easily. 8 inch painted spot. Cut a stenceil for 4 inches if I get better.
