You better bring your A game. Sadly, I didn't... hahahaha I did send lots of critters to pieces but no super long hits.
Did get to do a lot of testing at the ranch on steel out to 1500 yards with my 243. I was shooting R16 and R23 shooting my cool weather loads flawlessly in the heat.
Let's be honest varmint bullets are pretty worthless after about 700 yards (if that). The best performing varmint bullet I brought was the Sierra 85 HPBT. Very impressive groups out to 700 and not "horrible" at 1000 yards in MILD conditions. I shot some pretty small groups at 450 like same splat over and over. That's a lot of fun. It truly is under 1/4 ish minute out to about 450 or so. Super predictable.
I was shooting 3500 fps with R23. Blows up on critters really well too. Never had a doubt on any hit. Many separated into halves. Launches, fillets, etc etc
After that yardage better switch to the 115 DTAC with nose ring with "varmint deep cut". That bullet at 3100 fps is truly predictable out really far. Like 1500 yards far. Weather you can hit a pdog out there.... wellllllll???? Good luck feller!!
I'll post more after I get home.
