I'll tell you how.
1. It starts rolling of the table past moderate ranges.
2. Hunters aren't 1000 yd Competition shooters. Do you sight your rifle in 60+ inches high @ 100 yds. to hunt with?
3. That's about all the old timers had to use, so yeah, they shot it.
4. Do you wonder how many wounded Bison ran off gut shot from 600 yds. in the old days?
5. How many guns in this caliber are purchased each year as long range hunting rigs?
A little common sense should be used here. A [bleep] .22 can go a mile. Just because you can dial in enough elevation to get a bullet over the moon doesn't mean you should be trying to drop it on critters on it's way back to earth.
So save your breath telling me it's a good long range cartridge.
It ain't.
