"So as far as long range, accurate hand-gunning goes, practicality stops at about 150 yards with hunting and long before that for self defense or tactical applications"

Your assumptions are all wrong.
Hunting is done at well over 200 yards as stated and I have spoken with shooters who have done long distance 200 yard pistol matches.
With your assumptions being incorrect, what is your question?
Your opinion doesn't trump his. His caveat of "practicality" is something I believe is correct. It doesn't exclude any exceptions. I've shot long range handguns for thirty years. I can tell you for a fact that most people shooting at long range have no business doing so. I've won seven state shoots and two regional shoots in International Class and the vast majority of shooters at those events shot "at" targets and their hit percentage, for the majority, wasn't all that great.
