The long shots with ballistically inferior projectiles (most bullets for traditional calibers) gets iffy because of range estimation/ elevation adj.; what makes it work pretty well for many of us is that the trajectory is often similar to the caliber of our youth, the venerable 22LR. Still, by most of the 20th century standards, we are 'lobbing' them in. Not that doing so is inaccurate, its just more critical that we can walk them in, know the distance and sight setting for it, or the magic works. I rarely use a 'modern flat shooting high velocity jacketed bullet load' in anything anymore, so playing howitzer is normal for me. If I had a 444 I would be doing the same and casting (or buying casts) and learning the loop.
