When I used to buy rifles from newspaper adverts - the "old" huh

- so many guys would say - "yes this .243/.308/etc is good to 800 yards .... " Yep.

My longest shots with my .30-06 was at aherd of feral goats at about 400 yards. Walking along a thin mountain path, I dropped each one off a cliff with a just over the shoulder hold. The rifle was sighted to about 300 yards PBR. Until I gut shot one and had to use a magazine load on him at the bottom of the cliff to finish him.

800 yards is a long long way away.
