well for the guys who dial it up, once the bugs are worked out on the range it basicly gets down to where they're rounds run out of steam. If they can dial to 600 or 700 and hit where they are holding, then its just a turn of the dial away to get as far as possible. if they're data is right, ballistic programs are only as good as the accuracy of the info you feed it.
Remember this, the dialing up is just simple math to about 700 yds. I can routinely hit a 4" circle to 700, but from there on I start to waiver, at 800 a 10" circle is about the best I can do, at 1K its not even close, I know what I need to work on and I'll get it fixed, just takes time.
Any way I feel confidant to 800 yds if the wind is favorable, took a doe last week at 585, bang/flop.
