Many years ago a bunch of us sillywet shooters would practice/play at ranges that we would never hunt at. Several had 38 revolvers and loaded for them. We'd shoot at clay pigeons and drink bottles at 200 and 300 yards. Not many BULLETS will let you go that far (300 yds) accurately! It is surprising how far the slow bullets CAN go accurately. Of course , this is on a CALM day! One of the guys shot in a storm drain near his home to negate wind factors. He found the height of the drain to be a big factor in how far he could shoot before the bullets hit the top on the way to the targets. It was a 4' by 6' drain.
