[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 3046033, member: 42494"] My longest was in So Dak. It was about 700 yds on a muley buck. I say "about" because that was long before range finders. I was using a 300WM and 180gr Barnes X bullets. The rifle was topped with a Shepherd scope. The scope uses a bullet drop reticle with multiple decreasing sized circles out to 1000 meters and the drops/holdovers are calibrated for a particular velocity and bullet weight. Each smaller circle correlates to a diameter of 18 inches at that range. For example, the circle at 700 on the reticle is smaller than the circle at 500, but both circles equate to 18 inches. The 700 yd/meter circle fit perfectly over the back and brisket of the deer and I squeezed the trigger. Deer fell in its tracks - so about 700 yds. Longest shot since rangefinders was at 450 yds in FL with an AR10 in .308 with 155gr SMK. The east coast 9-point (4x5) ran about 20 yds. [/QUOTE]
