It's a tough call; go magnetic to get more damage if it works, or go impact for more reliability, but probably less damage. Or do what I do about half of the time, which is set for impact depth and forget to switch to impact trigger. At least that way you know how it will turn out.

Oh, yeah. The topic was range. How do you guys even ID your targets at those ranges? All I can see is a blob with some things sticking up, and no idea what flag it's flying.
I don't id targets sometimes, I just assume they are the bad guys if their in the wrong waters

Seriously though, I use an add on called Contact Color that re-enabled the color for the map contacts.
