Deer-408 yards
Hogs-multiple between 500 and 600 yards(javelina too).

Several years ago I missed a 'yote by 3 feet at 1200 yards. Didn't allow for enough windage.

Why not 451 or 453 not picking you out just seems weird all these long shots are even, most are guesses I assume. Range finders seldom Read exact even numbers. Just sayin...

All of mine are confirmed by rangefinder prior to the shot. I dial up elevation on the scope and hold dead on.

I also mark distances out from my stand. I hang surveyor's tape along the sides of the senderos at 100, 200, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 yards. That way if I don't have time to get an exact range I can still dial up to the nearest 50 yards. This method has worked very well for me.

Typically I try to limit shots on whitetails to 300-350 yards. Pigs and Javi's are fair game regardless of distance. Yotes too.

30.06 @ 313 yds. Absolutely zero wind or I would have never taken the shot. I new the ballistics, but am not good enough to account for wind.

Truth shall set you free. I use a rangefinder but what do you do with the ones without arc technology when you range about 620 and shoot for 350? Which do you claim grin

I don't remember the exact range, visiting a friends lease as a doe hunter, feeder was laser ranged at 163 (? I think) got a good shot with my custom 6.5x55. Other than that >100 yards, hunting thick river bottoms. And 59 paces on a 175-200 lb boar with long slide 10mm Glock. 6" Lone Wolf barrel. I Pratice at 50 yards with it EVERY time I go to the range.
