Absent knowing what kind of ammo, setup, targets you were using, you're also talking about dedicated military teams, with extensive knowledge and experience, superior ammo, a well-trained spotter you've worked with and probably lots of good dope.
If the OP is going to make that kind of time/money investment than he might be able to get out to 1200 with some kind of consistency but again it's no joke that pulling off a 1200-1600 yard shot consistently (in any kind of wind) with a .308 means you're a world-class shooter.
I agree fully, we weren't shooting bull eyes, human ipsc sized steel torsos and head plates ammo was a mix of all factory blackhills and hornaday along with OBR's and nighthawks rifles leupold sb scopes and PR the h-58 made life pretty easy
