I had some fun shooting at a mile with my 6.5-06 shooting 140 eld's in the mountains out here in colorado. Definitely more misses than hits. We were shooting a 19x19 inch steel plate, with grassy backstop on the mountainside. On occasion you could see dust splash in the grass, but the wind coming up the valley we were shooting across made it very tricky as short of mirage we had nothing to see wind changes. It is possible, i feel if I had consistent dust signatures we would have had a lot more hits. Still hit the plate 13 times with 50 shots or so. Fun stuff flinging lead a mile out
