What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

We were shooting steel and rocks before an elk hunt, and I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on a basketball sized rock at 1191. A squirrel popped.up on a rock on a 45° angle behind and to the right. I told my spotter..."hey, do you see him?"

My spotter laughs, and says "no frwaking way".

I reranged, added 1 click (.1MIL) and sent it. Shot hit about 2-3" below him, and spall blew him right off the rock about 15' up. When he landed, he never moved.

My spotter said "No...Fu---n...way!"

I said, "yeah, I think I am good for elk now."

A week later, I popped the pair of coyotes (2 shots) at 1374 yds feeding on an elk carcass.
