What's the farthest you have shot the Nosler 70grain BT?

Curious to how far you have shot them? I was think of trying them out on the gong 800-100yards out of a 6br.
Thanks
 
I don't have any great testament to it's long range capability, but I did get a 660yd prairie dog with one on the Rosebud reservation many years ago shooting a 6br.

For a 14twist barrel I think it's one of the better long range options. I was very surprised that it stayed stable at longer ranges considering the twist but I never noticed any problems.
 
Years ago I was shooting a Rem.700 with a factory twist bbl. I think it was a 1-10. That rifle loved that bullet with IMR-4831 powder. I took a ground hog at 800+ (so says the range finder). Killed hundreds of those pesky rascals at lesser distances before the bbl. went south. I can't tell you how far it went AFTER it his that hog, but I bet it wasn't far. ;D

I am about capped with the 70 grain BT because I am running a 14 twist and have an accurate load with it and Benchmark. Thank you for the replies.
 
762 yd PD kill with a 6mm Ack. The wind did kick my butt...

The 70gr NBT is a great varmint bullet!! (but I have since been converted to the 87 Vmax & 105 Amax for work beyond 500)

I run out of scope adjustment at 850 yards at 3360 fps it also goes subsonic about there. If you have a 20 moa rail you can get about 1100 yards out but still go subsonic at 850.
