These sound like pretty good lessons!:)

1. Hold over for an integrally suppressed .44mag at 400+ yards is measured in tens of feet, not inches.

2. With a high quality spotting scope, you can actually watch the bullet go down range due to it's visible vapor trail.

3. Even with a high precision sniping platform, make sure you bring a big freaking hammer. You never know when you need to make a minor scope base adjustment, or have to beat the action open in a hurry.

And that was hooch in the Gatorade bottle.. I always drink whilst shooting at distance.

But according to my Democrat governor of TN guns and alcohol should never be mixed even though the bill he vetoed clearly states no one may drink while carrying in a restaurant...also, I doubt any of the metals in firearms are miscible in alcohol :D

Of course, we were just kidding about the hooch, now Brandon's Herpes, that was the true reason that bottle was different.
