What’s your 600 and 800 yard group? Let’s see some

Hi, from New Zealand! I was shooting a fairly new custom 65-284 last weekend and got a 2 1/2 three shot group at 543 metres. 50 odd rounds down the tube.
I shoot off a bipod and bag but this time it was a jacket for the rear rest.
My 18 year old son shot a group just under 3" 20 minutes later at the same distance using my rifle.
Load is 130 VLDH 51.5gr ADI 2209 which is the H4350. @ 3025 FPS. Waiting for the barrel to shift gears as cut rifle barrels usually do and see another 100 FPS or thereabout.

Rem 700 short action,
krieger 26" 1-8
Calvin elite trigger
McMillan HTG -
Swrovski X5i 5-25x56
By the way the rifle and I are handicapped, lefty😊

It will be great to hear/see what you good folk consider a good group that will be inside the (kill zone) in field conditions at 600,800 and 1000 yards from a long range hunting rig.
Nice work. My increase in velocity was well over 170 with my 6mm creedmoor. It happened fairly quickly too. Less then 75 rounds.
 
This is a pretty typical group for this rifle in decent field conditions. 822 yards, 156 EOL out of my .260AI.

No I haven't taken any game at all with it. Luck hasn't been the greatest last couple years. I did miss a big buck this year but I was hunting in thick woods think my bullet hit a tree branch.
That's unfortunate, I'm sure that will change for the better! I should get myself a 7MM REM Mag. Have had a 280AI built on a Sako AV left hand long action 10 years ago.
All the best and hope you get a beautiful buck with an awesome long range shot you will be delighted with.
 
One of my best groups that I have a picture of. 765 yards shooting prone off a bipod.

Rifle is a trued R700 in 7mm Rem Mag
Bartlein #3 1-8.7 with APA Micro Bastard
Bedded in a HS Sporter
Talley light weights and a 5-20x56 SHV

Load is 70.5 grains of Retumbo with 168 VLD running around 3030
Fantastic! I need to get myself a 7mm REM Mag😊 what is quiet popular here is a 300 Win Mag necked down to 7mm. It appears to be the best of both worlds but I prefer a 300 Win Mag and a 7mm Win Mag

Any pictures of game you have taken with this rifle👍
 
Well I cant seem to find any 600 or 800 yard pictures but here is my personal best to date at 3027 yards. 26 3/4" three shot group
! The wind Gods were on my side that day!
338 Edge , 300 gr berger @ 2849 ft.per.sec. valdada 200 min. Adj base , Vortex Razor gen 1 .

That is pretty insane! I need to go past the 1000, 1200 metres on targets. Any pictures of you long range kills? That would be awesome to see.
 
I use a Kestrel elite with AB to help with the wind, what do you use? looking for any pointers, that's all.

And here are a couple more. Not exactly 600 and 800 yard groups, but I shoot out in the Wyoming desert at random ranges, and it's the same general idea.View attachment 241349View attachment 241350
I like doing the same. Stick a target and drive away till I find a suitable spot to shoot from. Range using a Leica that talks to my Kestrel elite and try to get the wind right😢 and shoot.
