Yes Sir, but my window is a little larger than most recommend. memtb
West Tx Trans-Pecos mule deer at 547 yds off top of a high rack truck. Winchester 70 270. 130 gr factory bullet. Verified with laser range finder. This was about 20 years ago.
Fast forward to last year took a nice antelope at 415 yds, full custom 7SS off of a tripod using an Arca rail. 168 VLD-H. Not nearly the range of that rifle.

I shot a black bear at 500 with a 7mag. Hit him both shots he was standing one in the shoulder, one through the lungs. Missed both the trotting shots. He was still alive by the time we hiked over to him. Tough as nails 13 year old per the tooth aging G&F does.

I never had the need to shoot a deer past 250 yards. I'm usually within a 100 yards. Perhaps the opportunity will present itself one day. Longest shot with a Marlin 375 Win lever action was at 150 on a doe
To Lance Kenyon,
What scope was on your 300 RUM to hit a squirrel at 1200 yards ?

I took my longest at 808 metres, with my 7STW running 168g ABLR. Usually, I would be hunting that particular area (New Zealand) with either my 264WM or 300WM, but I was talked into using the barrel screwed on at the time. Took a really nice Red Stag, then another the following day at 678 metres.
I have been very impressed with the 7STW, because normally I'm not a 7mm guy, but I now know why people love them, but the other 2, and many others, do just as much of a great job.
Still waiting to stretch the legs on my 257 Weatherby…
Cheers.

I assume it was a premium bullet…
