Plinking refers to informal target shooting done for pleasure typically at non-standard targets such as tin cans, logs, soda bottles, or any other homemade or naturally occurring target.

Judging by his over all post, He doesn't sound new to the term "Plinking" so I just thought it was a given that he meant what he wrote, thats all..
That is what plinking means to you, and wikipedia... but that is not what is meant by all. Some folks will refer to shooting paper at the range as "plinking". Plinking to me is typically done at ranges of 40 yards or less, and with a .22lr. Since he is asking about dot sizes, I am assuming he is shooting at ranges of 100 yards or greater, where dot size starts to make a difference.
