[QUOTE="bcwhit, post: 299493, member: 15048"] to date it would be 497 yrds on a mule deer in west texas. had been practicing for this shot the whole year prior to last hunting season when it was made. rifle was a rebarreled m77 in 280 rem shooting a 168 berger at 2870 fps I saw a man shoot a deer with a lever action 30-30 with open sights at about 350 yrds killed it deader than heck. funny thing was he had no clue as to how far it was when he shot,he admitted it was just luck. I have shot at hogs and coyotes at increadible ranges but I will tell you for the most part any hit beyond maybe 600 yrds is luck. I do a fair mount of shooting too. Just my opinion, for anyone to attemp to shoot a deer with an ar-15 with wolf ammo that is beyond 200 yrds is asking failure. I have culled many a deer with the 223 with in 200 yrds it amazing just a little beyond that all i can say is call in the dogs. [/QUOTE]
