[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 926430, member: 2261"] we shoot steel to and beyond 2,000 yards (using a variety of 6mm, 7mm & 338 pills). With good glass and a freshly painted target you can see hits with no difficulty. That having been said the 6.5mm pill you are shooting is not going to leave much of a mark so you should paint the target a color that gives very good contrast but still allows you to see what is going on. We tried and abandoned White for our targets, as some sun angles made the darn thing pretty much disappear from view. Ultimately we settled on optic green... makes the target easy to spot and hits are easily distinguished until the mirage runs too bad. Jeffvn [/QUOTE]
