308 at 750M and 1000M not making very visible hits on painted steel plate.

I'm half way through a rum and coke so I may be remembering this incorrectly but I think I had fairly good results using the florescent ground marking paint that surveyors use. Its kind of chalky, but I don't know if that made a difference or not. This past winter I've been using Johndeer Green to show up in the snow.
 
Maybe affix a piece of white paper over a dark painted background (or vice-versa) using a spray-on adhesive that allows the paper to be easily removed? e.g. "3M ReMount Spray Adhesive - Repositionable "

Yes, I use this all the time and there are posts elsewhere here discussing gear.

It is not hard to get, not hard to set up, and not expensive at all. In fact, way cheaper then a spotting scope ando you can literally see your target from a "few feet" away and/or record the shooting session (depending on the camera you use).

Ebay - wireless Tx and RX... Min 2 W. I prefer 3 W for 1000yds.

Add an 12V LCD monitor. Wire it up. Batteries, digi cam.... have at it.

With a zoom on your camera, you can position far enough away to not hit the gear and/or build a bunker for it. If in the field, build a mound of rocks to act as a shield... easy.

I found that one commercial one. Your right $529 really isn't bad. Considering a decent spotting scope to see anything at all at that distance will cost you 3 times that.
 
Op. If you use paintballs you can see them much easier and ou dont have to shoot nearly as far. No need for all thT expensive gear.

You paint is too good and steel to hard. I mix drywall mud in any leftover paint put it on with a brush. Always spray target blak first then cover it with anyother color. Paint only sort of sticks. Sticks enougb to hold while handling but comes off when shot
 
Cheap, white enamel on AR500:

Long range target

This is what I use. 1/2" AR500 plate, 5/8 rod, pillow block bearings and coreplast from home depot. Red white flashes as target tilts back and forth. Easily seen at 1000. I have made six of these for shooters in Manitoba with various size plates.


 
I really like that idea. Might have to try that too. Right now I have my plates hanging off of a A-frame stand. I can see them swing closer in but once the mirage picks up, no dice.
