Just looking in the mirror, I like my arms at 90 degrees at the bottom of the press and barbell should be just below the eyes.
If you do it without any weight, you can feel the deltoid range ends about there. Personally, I like doing "Arnolds" with dumbells more than Military press and hits more regions of the deltoids. With Arnolds, I bring the fist to around low forehead height. Not much weight is needed.
