Long range for me is often dictated by conditions. For example, this year in Wyoming I had a pronghorn I wanted at 600 yards, in a 30 mph wind! 600, on a relatively calm day is where LR would normally start for me,and a fairly easy shot prone w/bipods. but in that wind it was a no shot situation.
On most days, I consider 800 yards to be the distance when things get squirrelly. I shoot a 30-378 w/4.5-14 vx111 and turrets. a Barnes 180 mrx. 800 is about my max on big game. I do shoot it at 1000 plus at the range, with great success. most of my shots are 500 and in, so the mrx suits me well, my longest kill with this rig is 780 yards on a big bull elk. (complete penetration too, those Barnes are impressive!)
