Target: 300 yards

Deer:  315 yards

Antelope 320 yards

This is all with a Browning A bolt in 270 Winchester. Best cartridge ever invented. Jack O'Connor said so. 

Oh, and the scope, Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40.

1000 yds frozen milk jugs, Model 70 Classic SS Boss .300 winmag VXII 3x9.

Nothing fancy just having fun, took a few shots to get the right hold over.  :chuckle:

Handgun was a log across the river from my pasture, haven't ranged it yet, but I know it's over 200 yds.  :yike:

And I was using reloads for my 44 magnum I bought from bighammer.  ;)

Nothing even remotely impressive.  Target was a big rock outcrop distance was I dunno 250yds ish ( I swore we went back later and put the distance finder thingy on it<name of thingy is escaping me>),the  rifle was a 257bob handed to me with a "hey wanna shoot this one", mkay.  Shot it off a shooting stick down on one knee and said I am gonna aim for that whitish spot on the rock, and I hit it.  Was fun.  I kinda miss going shooting.

Ah hahahaha! You made my evening!  I'm such a unethical jerk! Maybe you shouldn't admit to having met me face to face. Few here have! Also a antisocial jerk, it's hard enough for me to read stupid crap let alone have to endure it in person!

1021 yards on a 18x12 steel plate. I was shooting my 308 with 175 smk. Hoping to get my 300 win mag built then trying for 1400 once I find a place to shoot that far.

The .300 Win Mag is a pleasure to drive at distance. :tup: My favorite across the board chambering by far.

Yeah I wish I had the funds to just finish the rifle but this long range stuff is expensive. Going to push a 215 Berger and might try the 230 as well.

I've never shot at anything over 300 yards away including targets. I've killed bucks at 270 and 299 yards. I was ringing steel with my 10/22 tack driving bug hole shooter at 200 yards last fall. That was fun.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Not a long shot by any means, but most impressive I've made was on a Mt. Dew bottle at a little over 170yrds. Was out with a friend, and my nephew sighting in a Savage 110E 270 I had just bought at a missile silo outside Great Falls MT. We were standing at the back of my truck with rifles laying in bed. A few guys were shooting at the bottle that was up on the hill. One of them hit just under it and it began rolling down hill. I scooped up gun, bolted round, and shot at it. It exploded.  :yike: I layed rifle back down and continued conversation...lol..Never in a million years could I make again, and know was pure luck, but played it off like I did everyday.  :chuckle: My nephew still thinks I'm the modern day Quigley
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

I shot BATs at 1600+ meters about 10 or 12 times nothing to it.  :chuckle: But I was using a 20MM Vulcan shooting a 100 round burst, BATs Ballistic Aerial Targets. Indirect fire on jeeps etc. at 3200 meters.
