Maybe a batter thing instead of magnum ammo is hollowpoints (even though the military doesn't use it), it allows for greater damage at close range but decreased damage at long range. Also bullet velocity is reduced and the arc much steeper.

One thing I personally think one that applies to snipers is if:

1) A sniper stays too long

or

2) Gets many kills in the same general area

Then the glare will be present. But it is not present until one of the two conditions are met.
