I read an article some time ago about praire dog hunting and that the record was 3,126yrds with a. 338x378wby imp 40* like around 141grn h20 capacity with a 34" barrel using GS customs with a 12-42x56 NF NXS and custom 60moa rail. These days it probably would have been much easier with a 8-80x56 March X. Muzzle velocity was somewhere around 3550 I think, at that distance they stated that an unexpected 1mph wind drift moved the poi 8 feet.
