Jeff,
Thanks for posting those beam sizes.
I've been running tests with my Leica 1200 LRF.
First for consistent longer range readings a steady rest is a must. I rigged up a unique holder for it on a Manfrotto type tripod. It adds several hundred yards to consistent readinge.
One test I run is to take a "center" reading then readings on all for adjacent sides of the sighting square. With the rest I have been able to range as much as 140 yards into the trees at distances over 900 yards.
Additionally I've learned a bit about what "reflective" means. I hung a 3X4 "white" board at my firing line in the back yard. Range goes a bit beyond 1K. The Leica wouldn't range the white board at all????
I turned the board around and had no trouble ranging off of the masonite side at about any distance????? Maybe the white side is too reflective and maybe directional??
