There are several long range shooting events with black powder cartridge rifles. The Quigley shoot in Mt shoots out to 800 yards. Don't know what distances they shoot at Virgina City Mt.
The US military did some 45-70 shooting for tests out to a mile or more. Not sure what sort of accuracy.
In his book "The Winchester Lever Legacy", Clyde Williams remaked that with tang sights on 1886 Winchesters in various chamberings, hits on a 55 gallon drum @ 1000 yards was "unbelievable". He used mainly higher performance smokeless loads.
