RC, I'm going to make a sweeping observation that [most]
all the folks that talk big game hunting at 500-1,000 yds do
very little -- if any -- of it in reality.
Personally, I found "ethical" on such targets means PointBlank
ranges (at most ±4"), or 300yds w/ the 375H&H -- my ballistic standard.
Beyond those bounds, you're pretty much guessing, without a lot of range-finding/-
meteorology/wind/electronics --- and tested (not calculated) ballistics beyond 300.
