This is long range hunting so let's not hear about ethics and all that jazz. Like the title asks, what's your longest kill shot this year, and what rifle Rifle did you use?
I'll start. My first bull elk public land Colorado 864 yards with a 300wsm I built myself. Badlands precision 195 gr bd2
Well here in Wisconsin while there are some areas where one can get beyond 200 yards they are few and far in between. Buck at 120 yards, Tikka, 270, Nosler 130 gr partition hand load at 2900, dropped in place, bullet made an exit the opposite side about 3 inches in diameter.
 
Nothing extreme, Whitetail doe 250 yards 270 win 150 gr Sako Hammerhead. Headshot off shooting sticks as she loaded up to jump a fence. DOA. Never had anything worth shooting beyond that don't know that I would shoot anything outside of 450 anyway. My eyes, nerves and body aren't what they used to be. I am a little old school anyway and I have never had a reason too shot beyond 450 at game. Not saying if I were on the hunt of a lifetime or the mythical and legendary 30 point buck walked out at 600+ I wouldn't fling a piece of led at him. 😂 The gun below was put together with a sheep or goat hunt in mind and took into consideration that a shot might present itself at 650+. Shot it at steel out to a 1000 yards. Shots nice little 1/2 moa groups. Entire gun weighs just under 8lbs.

Rifle: Sako Finnlight II 270 win
Scope: Leupold VX-5HD 3-15 HTMR
Rings: Hawkins percision ultra Light with level on a 20 MOA IOR valdada base.
Shooting Sticks: PoleCat
