I have picked up 6.5 and .30 cal holes at 600 using a Shoot N See bullseye that was very close in size to a 300 yard center. Very peculiar lighting conditions with the sun behind me and somewhat low. Also not real hot so no mirage. Most of the time it would be a No Go. Not even with a very good Kowa spotting scope. Have also picked them up at 600 on white paper but again, very unique conditions and not for long. Shoot N See is a better bet but I doubt you will have much luck with them at 600. Desert at sunrise with the sun behind you -- no wind -- probably.
Steel painted white -- you will probably see something but if there is mirage -- probably not.

Thanks for the reply.
That's what I'm trying to figure out is im better off sticking with a shot and see style target when I want to try for a group on paper at 600.
The day I shot on the shot and see was a good day for seeing where I was impacting but a bad day as far as wind calls because the wind was gusting and changing dirrections.
The second attempt the wind was great but then I couldn't pick up the bullet holes on the white paper, mirage was horrible that day.
So I figure I would see if there is a particular color of target most guys like at that range.
At the end it's just something I felt like trying lately. Useing it as a way to work on my wind calls. I typically shot steel at that range but thought doing some group work on paper might help tune up my wind calling a bit more then working on the steel plates.
I found what kind of targets I had shot on the first time so will order up some for this days when I want to try my hand again.
