With the 175 grain bullet I have found most loads will be sonic out to about 1000 yards after that they drop off fast.
I got key holes at 1200 on paper. Computer programs are just that, programs they will give you an idea but that's about it. Shooting is the best way to tell.
Shooting here in Arizona I have had good luck with BLC powder even when it's 115 degrees outside.
My best was with 172 B.T. Government pull downs.
I do shoot with a + 20 mount for the scope to give enough clicks for the distance. I have had no luck shooting longer distance with the 308. but I have had a little with the 30-06 "A little better"
Good luck
