Good points Gator. I'd add that the guy who smoked the bear with a Creed was probably not only equipped with the gun , scope with enough windage and elevation adjustment,, spotting scope bullet,, wind meter, ballistic calculator, ballistic graph for his load, and a boat load of experience.... is a far bit ahead of those who just want a deer rifle that will kill from 500 to 1000 yards. 500 yards is a LONG shot. 1150 is pushing the limits of guys like I'm describing above.
When I look at a long range setup, I look at what platforms the military and law enforcement uses ( within reason ). A 30 -338 caliber carries a lot of sectional density and ballistic co-efficiency on out there. Heavier bullets may be effected by gravity a little more due to the slower speed, but people don't take into account the fact that they aren't blown sideways as much in the windage dept. Gravity is a constant and can be adjusted for with the right equipment and math. windage , not so much.
