Hi, from New Zealand! I was shooting a fairly new custom 65-284 last weekend and got a 2 1/2 three shot group at 543 metres. 50 odd rounds down the tube.
I shoot off a bipod and bag but this time it was a jacket for the rear rest.
My 18 year old son shot a group just under 3" 20 minutes later at the same distance using my rifle.
Load is 130 VLDH 51.5gr ADI 2209 which is the H4350. @ 3025 FPS. Waiting for the barrel to shift gears as cut rifle barrels usually do and see another 100 FPS or thereabout.

Rem 700 short action,
krieger 26" 1-8
Calvin elite trigger
McMillan HTG -
Swrovski X5i 5-25x56
By the way the rifle and I are handicapped, lefty😊

It will be great to hear/see what you good folk consider a good group that will be inside the (kill zone) in field conditions at 600,800 and 1000 yards from a long range hunting rig.

Here's my smallest group fired from my groundhog rifle @ 600yds.

I have a 300 WM Stiller TAC 300 shoots a 190 VLD 210 GM RWS brass @ 2950 from a 26" barrel. Have not streched It's legs yet. Waiting for winter here, going after some bull Tahr with it.
Very accurate, it hardly took 15 rounds to develop a great load. 72.8 2213 SC ADI powder ES 9
 
No I haven't taken any game at all with it. Luck hasn't been the greatest last couple years. I did miss a big buck this year but I was hunting in thick woods think my bullet hit a tree branch.
 
One of my best groups that I have a picture of. 765 yards shooting prone off a bipod.

Rifle is a trued R700 in 7mm Rem Mag
Bartlein #3 1-8.7 with APA Micro Bastard
Bedded in a HS Sporter
Talley light weights and a 5-20x56 SHV

Load is 70.5 grains of Retumbo with 168 VLD running around 3030
