The local range has a 50-100-200 and 300. Many times I have been asked how far away are the 50 and 100. This from guys who probably watch a good amount of football being that it is outside of Pittsburgh.

Had a guy coming unglued because his rifle was dead on at 100, but when he dialed 300, was way low. He thought his powder thrower musta been goofing up. Then worried about his mounts and scope. Then let his buddy shoot. Then started dry firing before each shot so he was "locked in".
After his shoulder was jelly, I told him it was 300 METERS.....
I know.....I'm a dick........

battue/16: Thankfully today, we have LRF's  What do we do if they don't give a reading? 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I saw a guy take 10 shots with a 300 Win mag at a 12 inch gong, 400yds. On the last shot, he hit it at about 1 o clock and said, "its all dialed in now"! He packed up and was jabbering about a buck that was coming out to feed 400 yards from his stand. I asked him if he'd ever shot at an animal that far away and he said "nope, but I'm ready now". Poor deer....

Me or the OP?  I'd put money on Bob to make that shot reliably... 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

bsa thanks but only if everything is "perfect"...  I am such a mediocre rifle shot that I have to practice quite a bit just to stay that way.
