You don’t have shit to prove to me. I can tell you don’t shoot though.
1000+ yard shots aren’t very difficult one you establish your holds, position, range, a basic understanding of the current environment, and the bore is warm. It’s just a matter of consistency at that point. Consistency is accuracy. But real world requires cold bore shots. You do you man. I appreciate your service. We can leave it at that.

Exactly. I've lobbed thousands of rounds under different conditions, logged results, temp, wind, pressure. After compiling that data it's not too difficult.
Obviously bullet, powder, load, etc matter. My Steyr SSG04 loves 155gr Sierra Matchking HPBT palmas loaded 43 grain (I'd have to look for powder type, my father does the loading). Steiner 4-16 Military sits on top of that with a mil-dot reticle that also shows .5 mil holdovers.
I have several scopes with christmas tree reticles, and they work great for dogs and coyotes, but I'm not a huge fan of them at the range.
I love it when I get to go to different areas, especially in the mountains where it's unfamiliar. That's a challenge. Lobbing bullets at a set range isn't.
