Re: How do you take decent pictures?

OTH,

Just a small tip for close up shots that most digital cameras have. Somewhere there is a button to push that when pushed a Cauliflower looking thing comes on in the screen meaning better clarity "UP Close" I am sure your camera has that button somewhere. Hope it helps.

Uncle Sam is buying me one of these real soon. In fact he already sent me the money for one, but I just cant decide on what barrel length. I am leaning toward 5 1/2, but the 4 1/2 looks handier. As soon as I can make up my mind I will order one ! My wife thinks im Crazy !

It is a tougher bullet than the Hornady, but as you mentioned it also has a better BC, and I believe you can get it to 2200 FPS + which would be a tough combination.
