Good shooting my friend. You must practice and know your equipment well.

Thanks man! Ya I have a CPG 7mag that has around 1100 rounds thru it in 3 years. I really like to put myself in as many real world scenarios as possible to become a better shooter when it counts!
 
My longest shot so far was on a bear. I shot it at 530 even...dropped it in its tracks. Then I went to Wyoming and shot two antelope. The first one was at 356 and the second was at 495. Both of them dropped in their tracks as well. Prior to this year, my longest was my 2011 bear at 432.

All these were shot with a factory Remington 700 LSS chambered in 300 RUM. I am shooting 210 Berger VLDs with 92g of Retumbo. It is running them out at about 3025 fps.

Scope is a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 with the BDC retical. The antelope at 365 and the bear at 432 I just used the BDC. The two longer shots I dialed for.
 
825 yards on Wyoming Antelope with 6mm x 47 Lapua on a Savage Model 12. 95 grain Sierra Match King with 39.0 grains of H4350 @ 3100 fps. Spine shot and a belly-flop!
 
6x6 whitetail 750yds, custom Remington 700 in 300wm, 190gr Berger vld. The buck went about 50 yards & piled up after the shot. Longest coyote 535yds same gun but the coyote never moved after he he.
