As for the truck hood thing it reminds me of an incident were the guy fired several shots at a mark off the hood and couldn't hit it .Upon inspection he had shot three nice foot long rips down the hood like a .270 can opener.No realizing the actual bore is 2 1/2 " or more below the line of sight at scope level.Always wear shooting muffs at the range or you'll wish you had when your older and deaf.................Harold
