For contrast and long range visibility, I prefer international orange and white marking paints.
Shown are pictures from yesterday of my grandson's first 3 shots at 500 yards with my 22-250 and...
...his very first ever shots with my .308, also at 500 yards.
Target is a 10" diameter plate, and we spotted these hits quite easily through the rifle scope at 24x.
I wish to further brag that my grandson had fired the 22-250 a total of 4 shots, before stretching it to 500 yards.
Did I mention the paint was orange?
ETA: I neglected to mention that his group with the .308 measured @ 3/5 MOA - roughly half the size of the group I'd shot just before. How did his besting me with my own rifle on his first ever attempt make me feel? Proud as hell, that's how!
Very nice. Good paint choice too.
