They color their bullets with different color permanent marker and shoot their loads all at one large sheet of paper, and later can seperate the impacts because the marker rubs off on the paper, allowing you to see what charges create the least vertical stringing. This becomes their competition OCW.
You're not going to see your impacts at 600 yards to verify groups unless you have some kind of camera setup or are going to use something significantly higher magnification than 30x. Even at 60x it's hard to see groups at 600.
Well that's not really correct. Because on the shot and see target that was up on the board the first time I tryed it. I could clearly see my bullet holes with my scope. That's how I was able to figure out my hold for elevation and wind was off.
Second time I tryed to shoot a group it was a plain old white paper target and yea I could see my hits too confirm if I was correct with my dial in are if my wind hold was correct.
Just more interested in what types of paper targets most folks who shoot at 600 yard for groups tend to use. Trying to figure out a color layout on a paper target that might help me. Like a big black X ring type are if I should just order up some big shoot and see targets like what was up on the target board for my first attempt.
