Load the .264 Winchester Magnum with a 140 grain Berger Hunting VLD and 63.5 grains of Retumbo you get 3,026 fps and a whitetail range of 850 yards and an elk range of 550 yards.

Get real: even if you had the exact range, and could read the the wind perfectly all the way to the target, and had the trajectory, including up/downhill adjustments down cold ...... you have no way of being certain the animal won't move during the 1 second flight time of the round.
Yes, Such shots are done, and yes, there are videos of them all over the place ..... what there are not videos of are all the wounded and lost game where the shooter did not take some small variable into account.
You should take shots you are reasonably sure of making.
