I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but I recall reading somewhere that by definition, long range means anything past maximum point blank range (MPBR). MPBR varies with the cartridge. Going by my somewhat sketchy memory, the gun is sighted so the bullet crests at 3" above the line of sight, and MPBR is the distance at which the bullet falls to 3" below line of sight. For a 30/06, MPBR is about 275 yds, so anything past that is "long range'. The MPBR will also change if a different bullet is used, and also if the scope height is changed. A bullet with a better bc will fly flatter, even though it came from the came cartridge (in this case a 30-06). All objects fall at the same rate of speed, but if the bullet bc is better, it can travel further horizontally in that same time span.
