300 yards, 10x10" steel plate.
7mm TCU
162gr Hornady BTHP at a "quick" 1950 fps (fireform load)


Range is only 300 yards, so that's as far as I get too shoot!

One of the places I shoot prairie dogs at is a full "mile section" 640 acres. it is almost flat with no plants over 12 inches tall and not many of those...it will allow for some long shots. I am sure you have no trouble lining up a 1000 yard shot. I don't have the gear to shoot that far with any consistency...........besides 'checking your target is a long haul even in the truck' and it requires a good spotter. I don't have one of those either...............
