Just a thought....if you are shooting either up or down hill and you know (think inclinometer )or can estimate the angle you can apply the cosine of the angle to the actual distance to target.....the lesser distance resulting in your correction to hit the target.
As an example distance to target 500 yds....shooting at an angle of 30 degrees (cos .87) ....500 x .87 ....435yds.... apply your correction....a hit.
You can carry a card with the formulas already worked out for angles and distances to avoid trying to work out calcs in the field...
That is the ''riflemans rule'', which as discussed on page one is not really accurate . COS x dope is simple and much more effective (improved riflemans rule). Try it your self using both methods on steel and see for yourself which is more accurate. I have shot at up to 45 degrees to 600m and 30 degrees to 1000 and depending on size of tgt riflemans rule will actually miss while improved riflemans rule will hit. see @srvet post on page one where he runs the math using the 2 methods and applied ballistics on a 800m 30 degree shot, Improved riflemans rule is within 0.1 of the applied ballistics data whereas the riflemans rule is 1.6 mils of a difference, 1.6mils at 800meters is 128cm of a difference...!." 1.2 meters! As i said go shoot it in real life and you will quickly see that riflemans rule is pretty useless if you really are shooting steep angles and decent distances or small tgts

Cos x flat range distance as in the post above is known as the riflemans rule, its been proven less accurate than cos x dope (known as improved riflemans rule. This however depends on your rifle being trued correctly ie dope is correct.

Standard or Tactical Muzzle Brake, that is the question

Tactical brake to accept the suppressor. Front cap threads anticlockwise, you might be trying to twist it the wrong way
