What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

[David W Strait]

Longest was an 711yd estimated holdover shot in the late 80s. Remington 700 BDL 25-06 100gr Nosler Partition bullets and a Tasco world class 3-9 scope. DRT from a high shoulder hit. Not too proud of that as it was on a "bet you can't hit it" deal. Later ranged because it was shot from a gate post to a fence crossing that are both still there today.
Best 2 were minutes apart. Ranged, doped and dialed 653.7 yd on a whitetail. Christensen 6.5prc 143gr eld-x, Sig optics. Same POI same result. Moments later a large fox squirrel was standing at 614.3yds for what turned out to be a minute too long. Took a bullet to the chin. Squirrel dumplings.
