July 20, 2022Color-Coat Bullet Tips for Better Define Long Range Groups For example, if you shot three 5-shot groups of bullets at 600+ yards on paper, you would have 15 bullet holes. It would be difficult to see the holes at target from that distance, even with a spotting scope. It would be difficult to identify which shots belong to which group if you were to inspect the target from up close. Although you might have an idea of what shots belong to which group, it would be difficult to tell without a target camera. It’s easy to mark your bullets using a Sharpie, felt marker pen, or a similar tool. If you have three 5-shot groups, mark five bullets with red, five with green and five with blue (or violet). You can then inspect the target and identify the group placements using the colors on the paper. You might have three different neck tensions marked with different colors on the bullets. Next, shoot Red, Blue and Green in the same sequence for five shots per color. Smart Tip: Make Colors Visible You will need some alcohol solution and Q-tips in your range kit. Use wet Q-Tips to lightly dab the shot onto the target. Here’s the front of the target before and after alcohol application: Forum Member NewbieShooter explains that “Dabbing a little alcohol on the bullet holes using Q-Tips makes it pop a bit… especially the back side.” You can see the colors spreading onto the paper. This will clearly mark the shot holes with distinct colors. If you were shooting a bullseye with dark colors, look at the BACK side of your target to see the colors spread into the paper.
