My AR10 with 20" barrel likes 168 Amax's and at its best is an 800 yard gun. Wind pushes it around quite a bit at that distance. On a calm day it will shoot 3" 3 shot groups at 600. Not sure what grain bullets you are shooting but I consider 168s a good minimum at 600 and 175 Sierra or 178 hornady would likely do a bit better. The 168 eldm has a high ballistic coefficient for the 168 class and does really well

I'm curious, because I live in a state that has fewer gun and hunting restrictions, if you can have an ar-10 why can you not have a bolt gun?
I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in Washington a long time ago. We were able shoot om Weyerhaeuser land back then. They had large strips of property. I don't know if they still allow trespassing today for shooters and hunters. Anyone from Washington have knowledge on that?

hello! many people that live in the Puget Sound general vicinity do not like the second amendment. they moved to this state from other states and brought their negative 2nd amendment beliefs... sooooooo to that end, a new law was recently passed that banned many things, including buying a new rifle that has an evil, scary "pistol" style grip. so, yes, I can own a bolt rifle, but the one I like, has one of those evil, scary, integrated "pistol" style grips. if a person (the FFL) would actually read the law, they would see that any bolt rifle, regardless of how it looks, is legal in my state... but that would require reading and research. That's also why its very difficult for me to buy maintenance parts for my AR15, and AR10, despite that being legal.
