Actually, if you don't mind, can you please get into the physics of why a "17HMR bullet shaped like a missile" would lose more accuracy then a hurtling school bus?

As per the plenty of fellers that shoot that round further and more accurately, you are selling yourself short as this is amazing shooting!
I did want to get it to 500 yards, but I have shot that rifle past 500 as well with some success. I don't think I would try and get anymore out of it, as I feel I am already there, with regards to pressure vs performance. I have other loads for 100 and 300 yards, and tend to stick with those. They are more pleasant to shoot.
