I shot at old dish washers at a buddies ranch a few weeks ago. 880 yards (half mile)
Already had my 308 dialed in and picking “which quarter of the dishwasher do I want to hit next?”
Then I moved onto a different dish washer and had to try my 9” 300 blk suppressed with 220gr subsonic handloads. Only using an Eotech XPS.
Picked a random holdover, puff of dust 10’ in front of dish washer. Held a little higher, puff of dust just past the dw. (You’ll need a good spotter with a good scope to figure it all out)
Held in between the two holdovers and started dropping rounds all over with many being into that dishwasher. We found 16 holes in the dw out of a 30 round mag. So yeah, if you have the time any gun could drop rounds into anything. Are they still effective? probably not. In a real situation would your target stay still until you figured out the hold over? Again, probably not. But that’s my experience and thought I’d share.
If it's poking holes in a dw at 880 yards sounds to me like it's still pretty effective, I wouldn't want to get hit by one. Like with the 45-70 or 110-120 you launch a heavy bullet at a somewhat low velocity with a rainbow trajectory they can still be effective at extended range if you can hit the target.
