When patterning a gun for hunting, at what distance do you like to shoot? At 16 yds, at 30 or 40, or at the range you expect to take most of your shots?

I'm looking to pattern a "new" 2" x 12b for grouse. I think 20 or 25 yds might be the best when experimenting with different loads, but what's the forum's consensus opinion?
