Gallon Jugs Beware!

I recently acquired a .308 caliber heavy barrel Panther and am in the process of getting my ballistics compensator dialed in for the ammo I use. 
  1. The process goes like this: sight in at 100 yards
  2. Shoot a target at 300 yards
  3. Measure the ballistic drop (distance in inches the bullet hit below the aimpoint)
  4. Use a ballistic table to get the logarithmic drop formula
  5. Replace elevation knob with pre-engraved ballistic drop compensator or replace with a custom compensator, marked according to the formula.
  6. Set out water filled gallon jugs at 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards
  7. Proceed to pick them off with great explosive splashes.
  8. Ponder in amazement how small a gallon jug actually appears at 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards away.  (For reference, take a pin and stick it in a wall, move away from the wall about 10 paces, the size of the pinhead is comparable to what a gallon jug will look like at 500 yards.)
So I can say without reservation that the gallon jugs of the world should take care they don't get on my wrong side, because wherever they are, I can turn them into a wet splotch and some shredded plastic before I am even a distinguishable mark on the horizon.

Gallon jugs. . .pshaw! Number one, I don't believe you, and won't believe you until I see video proof. Number two, I hope you're using graywater instead of drinking water, you selfish, capitalistic prodigal! Number three, the real reason you use gallon jugs is because you couldn't hit anything smaller - and I won't believe otherwise until I see video proof.

Best regards,
Your moral superior (sans the cool gun)
