I know the question was about "longest kill shot". But for me some of my most interesting shots have NOT been about how far away but about how close...
Caribou: 270 yards w/300WSM (shot him through the antler)
Kodiak Island Blacktail Deer: 420 yards w/7MM Magnum (brown bear got this deer)
Moose: 48 yards w/338 Winchester Magnum (he charged me)
Wolf: 29 yards w/300 WSM (after I shot him his 6 pack mates came after me)
Brown Bear (900 lbs): 9 yards w/44 Magnum-320 grain Ace Dubie hard cast bullet
Black Bear (324 lbs): 17 yards w/44 Magnum-320 grain Ace Dubie hard cast bullet
(And I think you can imagine what these two bears did).

1060 YDS. Wyo. Antelope with a 25-284 85gr bullet @ 3355fps
My range finder only read out to approx.800 yds. so I spotted objects in the field that I could get a baseline of field & distance markers....glassed the grass movement to estimate windspeed, At the time I didn't shoot with long range equipheld , aimed 7 ft high with a 18" lead and Squeezed. One lung, heart shot.
no bullet expansion at all. Antelope took two steps and laid down.. I recognize there was a little luck in that shot. But, it was the last day of my hunting trip and I wanted to fill my last tag.
Up to that point I had only 6 long distance kills between 510 & 724

980. My son said I killed a yote at 1300 but I didn't confirm it. He was the sporter and saw it go down but I didn't. Wish I would have confirmed. Ha ha
