For a long time, a “long shot” in hunting was considered 400 yards. Anything successful beyond that was thought to have a lot of luck involved and was, at the very least, unethical. Those days are over. Today, a number of manufacturers offer rifles chambered in a number of the cartridges mentioned, which are considered effective past 1,000 yards. The advancement of long-range hunting and equipment demands performance to 1,000 yards. Consider U.S. military sniping. It wasn’t but a few years ago that the outer envelope for a sniper was considered to be around 1,000 yards. If he had a rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, maybe 1,400 yards. The demands of the War on Terror and where it continues to be fought means that snipers are being asked to be capable of effectively engaging targets out to 2,000 yards — an incredible range with a shoulder-fired rifle. That’s in the range of what is considered mortar fire.
