I'd like to work up to 700-800 yards at some point.

Not on game animals though.

I'd like to be proficient out to 500 yards in calm conditions if I needed it but hope to never shoot that far unless I felt incredibly confident.

My favorite part of hunting is getting as close as possible but I would like to expand on my capabilities if I needed to reach out there sometime.

I've shot the Federal trophy bonded tips in my 300 WSM and liked those. Maybe I should start there first.

Any other advice is much appreciated.

Thx, gents!
