Doable, yes, but not consistently repeatable. Using a 123 Hornady Amax, you would be getting around 2400-2500 FPS from that barrel. Lets say 2500 FPS.

At 1500 yards you have 120 feet of drop, thats 90 MOA, and 21 feet of drift in a 10 MPH wind. Velocity is still over 900 FPS, though.

At 1700 yards you have 175 feet of drop, thats 117 MOA, and close to 30 feet of drift.

You can get there, but more chance than anything if you hit something!
”You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live.” - John Galt
