The magpul dvd is a great way to start. Id find a tactical shooting club/3-gun match group by you. They are everywhere. My buds down here are in it and taught me a ton of cool stuff that I would never learn from a DVD or the military.
Like stang said, practise, a LOT. And then do your drills a few times a year to keep fresh.
For the long range, focus on slow shots from the bench, so you know how well your rifle does with that ammo and sights. Once you've settled in and know how good you can do. Then stand, prone, sit etc.... and shoot to see how well you can do.
If SHTF you will have to shoot a small animal for food that may be 100yds away so its a good idea to practice calm and slow fire.
Then use that short range for the magpul style stuff, because more than likely any encounter (after youve tried to avoid it) will be up close and dramatic. Muscle memory and speed will probably save you, as it does for cops, aiming is secondary.
