765 yrds Pronghorn calm conditions using a 6.5 Creedmoor 140 gr. Hornady. My hunting partner and I counted it down and simultaneously killed 2 at that range.
I live in Colorado and have been on the
elusive town that has never been shot in May when the pups are just out. It is fast action. We shoot for 4 full days and average 350 rounds a day. Kill percentage is probably 65 to 70 percent.
I shoot steel challenge weekly in the summer, tactical rifle...
My nephew tried to fire 1000 rounds a day with an AR as a kid, didn't hit much though. Claims like that are always, I'll believe it when I see it. I've been shooting dogs for 20 years, I call BS.
I have a Savage 223 that has survived 15 years of Dog shooting and 300 yrd match shooting, rounds count unknown but probably over 5K. It has .500" freebore now, but still shoots .625" at 100. My 22-250 was shot out at 2500 rounds and is on its 2nd barrel. Throat is rough but it still shoots .5 moa.
That number of rounds in a day seems exaggerated. They must miss a lot. 60 kills an hour would be a very fast pace. 100 kills in a day is a good day of PD shooting.
Just dropped a cow Elk Monday at 360 yrds. Not really long range but got it done.

I am running the Steiner 34 mm rings with the built-in level. The level is in the center of the top cap like Hawkins does. It is difficult to see and requires lifting your head up to see, it is almost useless and the rings were 185.00. The MPA rings look the best to me.
