Default RE: Maximum Shooting Range for Your Gun

I've got a 17hmr savage with a bushnell 3x12 scope on it, and with no wind, can reliably pick off prairie dogs at 150 yards, and I have shot a bunch out around 200 yards, although it takes more than one shot to hit them on occasion. Also have shot 2 snowshoe hare with it this winter. One was at about 20 yards, one shot DYT and the other was about 75 yards, and I actually ended up shooting it twice, although it was probably dead after the first shot, but it was still moving, so I gave it another.
I don't have either of the other two cals.
