450 yards with a Ruger M77 MarkII in 30-06 with factory Hornady ammo at a Muley. That was back before I knew what I was doing. I was with my boss, who I worked for at the time, and he couldn't believe it. I admit it was a lucky shot.

Whitetail doe, 220 yds, open sight win 94. I put the sights where the shoulder met the sky and she didnt go 20 yards, right through the boiler room. Its funny, everything I have shot with my 270 has been within 50 yards. Seems like smokepoles and leverguns are the only thing I get shots over 100 with.

Re: Your longest kill...
Well, here's my new longest kill. Got this one today with my Savage M2-FV running (of course) CCI Velocitors:
Killed this groundhog today @ 360 paces; somewhere in the neighborhood of 320 yards, I reckon. It took me seven shots, and my spotter/brother helped a lot in walking me in. 1st shot 15 ft low, 2nd shot, little higher and wind good. 3rd, 3ft low and good wind. 4th, high, 5th, less high. 6th right over back and 7th...on the shoulder. I'm going to blame varying headwind. haha.
My elevation was maxed out, plus I held like 2 mils. Wind was almost in my face and I held exactly 1 mil. Bullet entered shoulder and exited mid-way back and expansion seems to have been pretty decent even at that range. Mr. G-Hog just crumpled up and died when I finally got the elevation figured out.
In retrospect, I should have been able to do this in 3 shots, but I got excited. Oh well, it was pretty cool.
Happy trails.

Re: Your longest kill...
250 yards (walking steps), open sights, on a slight hilltop, shooting at a button buck down, a slow, graded hill with a Marlin 30-30. My first deer ever! Took two shots, first was "buck fever," second was Marine Corps Fundamentals. I've shot them a little further but I figured this was probably my most spectacular shot.

That is where the back half of the jacket and a very small piece of the core came to rest just beneath the hide. It almost broke thru, but there was no actual exit hole. I cut the fragments out of the hide.

487 yards one shot, bang flop on a pronghorn in New Mexico.
We just plain ran out of cover, animals were not easy to find that year and I had a great rest on the 2nd wire of a 3 wire barbed wire fence.
I prefer to stalk up much closer, but it was all we were going to get that year because it was so wet they were spread all over and not relating to the scarce water as in a normal year. This was before the bad drought that has been hurting NM for several years now.

Prairie dog, northeast Montana, about 725 yards with a 788 in .22-250. Unconfirmed though, I saw him flop off the mound but when we drove down- no body. Lot of blood though, so I know, but no corpse.
Same trip, two at 520 with a .223, and on a later trip two at around 650 with a 6mm Remington.
All with witnesses.
