I have never shot the 338 but have shot the .50 a few times, what is the effective range on that round?

My step dad has a very similar .338.
My first time shooting it was 4/4 on a milk jug at 1000 yrds.

Effective range for soft target is supposedly 1200-1500y
the energy at the muzzle is 4856ft/lbs,
@ 1000y 1859ftlbs
@ 1500y 1288ftlbs
