Practicing at 400 yards ain't done that much by most folks. I had a 16" truck rim on a tripod at 400 and shot it at least once a week, many times more often, for 6 or 7 years. With a handgun. I never tried it with a rifle. Got to where I could ring it fairly often 3 out of 5. Had rifle shooters come out and try it. Some never hit it no matter how much they shot.
The old .30-06 in a decent rifle can be quite effective much further than 400 ... but most shooters never get a chance to do much shooting at really long distances.
I've posted it before but this was my old long range.
