There was a forum member who posted 1300yd groups on steel up in Idaho, and a lot of people had a hard time believing it.
At the end of the day, we're pushing 100-123gr target bullets with 27-32gr of powder charge, so while the expectation shouldn't be unrealistic, don't be surprised at what it can do with the right set-up, especially up here in thin air.
Longest hunting shot we know of is 752yds on antelope with a 22" Lilja barreled Precision Firearms AR15, with the 123gr A-MAX. He registered the shot at 727yds before the herd came through, so he had solid data on exactly what was going on with his trajectory.
