Was playing round out at farm a couple of weeks ago, just verifying rangefinder and dial-ups, at varying distances..
So rangefinder values dialled in to my VX6 at 200, 300, and 400 yards were spot on. My mate then said that from the top of the terrace to the gong is 940 yds."See how good ya are"
I set up with the bipod, dialled in 940 yds, first shot missed so allowed a little more for windage, and proceeded to hit the gong (300 x 300) with the next 3 shots.
Nothing wrong with the .270 out to stupid distances, and this was with 145Gr ELD -X

The tested .591 BC is whats called a midrange or 200yd BC, most new bullets including the eld range are now publishing data from this testing to more accurately reflect the calibres they are shot from, they will usually also show a higher and lower number as a verified bc at a certain velocity. Most apps will allow you to enter all 3 numbers, the 150gr ablr I use(d) being .625 .569 and .531 which was bang on out to 900yds in my wsm

"New" web page data says .591
Even the 165 grain LRAB is only listed as .620
