Re: Across Water shots
Can let this one slide...
IF yore ole lady catches ya w/ the panty hose, you can tell her they're yours and are used only for precision rifle testing....THAT'S fuckin gonna fly, I tell ya! Specially if there's a smell to "em!
BTW.....if a chicken and half, lays and egg & a half in a day and a half, how long will it take a one legged grasshopper to cross the field of fire to the 1000 yds butts to see if he hit the target IF there is only a LITTLE water involved?

Example, a 900 yard shot! First 100 across land, 750 across water and 50 land to target. No wind. Would the drop stay the same? Or would you need to calculate for more humidity?

The legit answer is no, dope is the same.
But to be all tactical you need to put the pointy end of the bullet in the case and the boat-tail out side when reloading specifically for over water shots ex. boat-tail towards the muzzle.
(everyone know you face towards the back of the boat when you row it, the bullet needs the same)
Also since scope makers don't make a polorization filter for them here is what you do.
1. go buy a $80 pair( or most expensive they have) of panty-hose in the largest size they have.
2. cut the crotch out and wrap it over the rear lense of your scope
(this will filter the vapors that are floating over the water that you are seeing out of the scope so you will see the target very clearly and not have a mirage-y sight picture)
3. if after a while you smell something funny, remove the makeshift filter and get a new pair of panty hose that has not been worn.
4. worn p-hose reduce the effectiveness of the make shift filter and are distracting.
5. if you buy the smallest pair of expensive hose and they smell nice, discard immediatly because the 'phermones' will negatively effect your shooting.
