I actually have a 700 yard private range at my place and good access to 1200+ yard desert and canyon, take my shooting very seriously. My ammo, optics and all the rest. Shoot my dear with my one shot at 700 yards and all that. I just need my practice with wind calls mostly so 100 yard practice does not help me for what I am doing.
.
My comment about them being queer is only applicable to the 3-shot group police I notice when I am at snipers hide. It's like the couple of savage bashers that show up on every savage thread to piss and moan about a five shot instead of five five shot groups to prove consistency, it gets so childish, redundant and annoying I have to switch over hear for a while. Besides what they call a tactical competition.....I call sunday.
.
Of course if it's all you've got, paper at 100 is a whole lot better than nothing (to a point) and your dot drill at least gives clear feedback for every round where a ten shot usually just ends up with overall spread of the one large hole.
Given you goals of positional to a 1K+ I can't help but think you would be better served spending a lot less ammo at your local 100yard and making allot more trips to the bigger range, even if you can't do it as often.
.
I build them, tune them and learn to use them. Build being a loose term as assemble is more realistic.
The light hunting rifle was only referenced in an attempt to draw a contrast between the three and five round. Even my primary hunting rifle is what most would consider a target rifle weighing in at 14lb and I am more than a little bit perfectionist.
I take ammo expense very seriously because the time and money put into my handloads is significant and if I waist it on pure redundancy I will not be able to afford to really get the wind reading at farther range practice that will help me get to the next level.
