It's a shame that bloke wit the Shiloh Sharps rifles is not here, was it SharpsGuy or similar. He could certainly illustrate long range hits in the field with only 1300 f/s.
As I posted before I did as well on roos, pigs, goats and emus with the 400 grain Speer at 2000 -2100 as I did with the 270.You can certainly get a feel for very long range with big bullets going slow. Many years ago I was away shooting with a mate and we stopped on the property where you could see part of a small river and its bank. He had a 7mm Remington with him and I had 375 H&H with 300 grain round nose Hornady and 68 grain of 4064 for 2400 f/s plus. I said to him to see if he could land a bullet at the edge of the river/bank. It was a real long way off. He fired and nothing. So I let go with the 375 and hit right at the edge of the bank.
