In the early seventeenth century boys were competing with smoothies at over two hundred yards, and rifles were shot at three in competition.
Jagar rifles often came with folding leaf rear sights and were sighted for three hundred yard. Hunting in the alps or the mountains of Transalvania with vistas not unlike the Rockies. And hunting was done at long ranges. Many of these rifles were in that same old .54-62 range we see plains guns in.
Ball can and does kill at long range, though in Transalvania you have to use silver.
Historicly long range was done, however IMHO ml should not be pushed much beyond a hundred or maybe a hundredfifty, preferably closer.
