Accurate at long range should by all means translate to accurate at shorter ranges, accurate at short ranges doesn't always make it accurate at distance. As distance increases the variations in velocity will compound into larger variations of impact height. If enough work is done to eliminate the multitude of variables in rifle / cartridge then single digit ES & SD's should be possible but it becomes a game of diminishing returns. Here's a thought, is the 6.5mm which is deemed one of the more accurate calibers because of size or because, due to popularity there's a better choice of projectiles? If the beard grooming twat-knot bunch were suddenly driven to moisture by the 375 H&H would we see a bigger variety of high BC target projectiles?
I have managed to achieve the holy grail of low numbers in a large cartridge (2nd Row) and many smaller ones...This is one of my go to loads for 1000yd competition
Data was captured from a 5 shot string using a Lab Radar and I've managed to repeat it more then once. Even with a 10 shot string I was still in single digits for ES & SD
