The best advice I can give you is learn the fundamentals of marksmanship well. Learn to call your shot. Do a lot of shooting, and WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN. All the weather conditions, your load, every sight adjustment you made, and the results. You can get in the ballpark with a ballistics program, but nothing works as well as the data from your own rifle and ammo.
Appleseed isn't centered around long range precision, but we will drill a lot of fundamentals into you that will help, like trigger discipline, all the steps to a well-executed shot (including calling the shot), and we will teach you all about using the sling as a marksmanship aid. Sure you generally try to use a bipod or solid support when you can with LRP, but the shooting sling is a good trick to have up your sleeve too. We teach the elements of solid sling supported positions, but you can easily apply that to supported positions if you are halfway clever. It is an excellent course on fundamentals, and it is very affordable at $80 for a weekend. Most of it is shot from 25m on reduced size targets, so you can even use a .22 if you want. To score Expert on our Army Qual Test and get our Rifleman's patch, you basically have to be able to shoot to a 4 MOA standard at 25m (or out to 400 yds. When we do the full distance COF). If you are going to have a hope of being proficient out to 1000, it is a very good place to start.
