My ballistic calculator shows your bullet should also hit at about 1780.
Personally Id call your load a 300 yard gun. It should hit at 1925 fps and 1010 ft pounds of energy.

Hmmm, when I plug my particulars into a calculator I get 1915 FPS and 1002 FPS at 350 yards. Part of it is that I am correcting for elevation and atmospheric conditions, which probably gives me a bit more range (4350' elevation, low humidity, basically high plains/desert). At 400 yards I get 1851FPS and 936 FPE. I'd probably be happiest to keep this to 350 yards.
