I doubt it's a good idea to fire at 1200+ m with a convential rifle bullet at all. There are 12.7 mm rifles for such huge distances.

The only round in the 7.62mm class that has the energy to be effective at about a mile is the .300 Winchester Magnum. If you want to go further, you need at least the .338 Lapua or bigger. The only issue is then consistency, which good match-grade ammunition can provide. A good rifle plus match grade ammo in the hands of a good shooter can achieve easily 0.50 MOA or better.

That is what the Type 88 is for. This weapon fill a completely new role that the PLA did not have before. It would be interesting to see how they integrate this into their current force structure.
