[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1354246, member: 68875"] We shoot our 24" varmint ARs pushing a 69 SMK @ 3033fps to 850 (@ 80-90% hits on an 8" round steel) and 1000 (70-80% on 12" round steel) all the time. I tried some 1371 yard shots, but it was tough, about 20-30% hits on a 12" steel. Wind is more your enemy at those distances. Any little variation and it really pushes the lighter bullets around. I think hits at 1760 with a 69SMK would be mostly luck even if it is dead calm. Just my opinion. I am at about 1800' AMSL for reference. [/QUOTE]
