718 yard Mule

Hunting mule deer in Idaho with Heaven's Gate Outfitters. We get to a point that has a great view and start glassing. This bruiser steps out at 718 yards. My guide looks at me and ask if I can make the shot. I said yes, but my rifle (custom 6.5 creedmoor) was set up out to 600. He said his rifle could make the shot. A custom gunwerks 6.5 creedmoor with a gunwerks custom turret on a 2.5-10 night force. worked perfectly. dropped where it stood. hornady 140 grain match ammo. 190" and 31.5" spread.

Congratulations of a great shot! That is a beautiful animal.
 
A Creedmoor killed a Muley at 718 yards! And did it with an ELD! There's just no way according to the internet!

Haha great shooting and beautiful deer man!

Why in God's green earth would you use a MATCH BULLET when there are so many great hunting bullets available......You are very "Lucky" that Wonderful animal went down.
