[QUOTE="rost495, post: 8633, member: 1768"] Hi Chris Its very seldom, in my opinion, that I can see better at 600 than I can at 300 yards while testing. But I'll keep that in mind. I've experimented for years on my 600 yard bench here in the backyard with target clarity and have come to the conclusion that for my vision a white diamond of 2.5 inch dia encased by a black edge thats 1 inch thick is what I can see clearest. But I still feel that its rare if ever that I can see better the further out you go. Why there are orange and red targets is beyond me. The glare allows you to never see a sharp edge. BTW the reason for the 30 inch tubes on palma rifles is NOT for sight radius. We have bloop tubes for that. It is the fact that it almost always takes 30 inches of tube to get a 155 up to a high enough speed to consistently be supersonic at the 1000 yard line. A 30 inch tube is used not for stability or accuracy, but simply due to the regulations of the match and the fact that it takes that barrel length in the required cartridge and projectile combination to stay supersonic.
