What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

I would like to go on a Nilgai hunt, did you go with an outfitter?

My company does an annual Leadership hunt at the Yturria Ranch. We hunt with LL Hunt Adventures. Brian and his team are top notch and that ranch is one of a kind.

I bet it will be awesome. What will you be hunting for in Namibia?
Kudu, gemsbok, black wildebeest, impala and, my personal favorite - eland. Taking a 375 H&H and trying to decide if my second rifle will be a 6.5 PRC or a 300 PRC. Don't need to take two rifles, but want to get some use out of all my favorite rifles (my non-favorite rifles get sold lol).

400 yards. Whitetail doe hunting a powerline in SC. 7mm-08 with factory Remington 140 gr Core-Lokt. One shot. Surprised myself how well the shot placed at that range since I only target at 100 yards. Just hit about six inches lower than I was expecting.
 
I shot my furthest this weekend at 465 yards on a whitetail doe. I'm sure I'm not even close to the farthest and probably not even what some consider long range but it's pretty far for me. I used a 6mm creedmoor 88gr hammer hunter 3340fps at muzzle and 2240 estimated at impact.

It got me thinking about how far other people have taken animals. Post em up with what cartridge and loads you used.
866 yds (guide calling distance and wind) on a Presidio County aoudad. 300 H&H with 200 gr. Terminal Ascent. He was facing me a little so when the bullet hit he sat down on his *** and then fell over just before I tried to put another one in him.
