[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2847261, member: 64108"] I shoot to a mile with 6mm and 6.5 and yes it is really difficult to see hits compared to .30 and .338 but a phone skope type adapter(I have a cheap $20 from amazon) on a spotting scope makes it pretty easy to see unless there is heavy mirage. I typically aim at a baseball size rock on the side of a hill with no brush or grass, preferably with dirt around it so I can see the bullets splash. I used to aim at bigger rocks but I've learned the you don't get much dust off them to see anything. I bought a remanufactured $50 Galaxy S8 from ebay as it has a single lens video camera, my newer cell phone has several lenses and switches as you zoom in so it isn't practical for digi scoping. You can also wifi the recording to a laptop for a bigger viewing screen. So in order I get the rifle and scope dialed on the target, set the labradar, chamber the round, then start the video camera, shoot, stop the camera, record the data, then watch the shot. Most times I can see it in the scope but if not I rely on the video. [/QUOTE]
