just out of curiosity, for those of you who hunt deer with a shotgun. What is the longest shot you've made with a shotgun?

100yds , but with a H&R ultra slug gun.

last year got a buck at 125 yards. shot him with a remington 870 express magnum. used federal 2.75 slugs. Wouldn't shoot much farther than that though.

125 yards Browning Abolt rifled barrel lightfield 3" commanders,Hunting partner has ranged kills of 176 and 191 yards with a Marlin 512 and Winchester partition golds,mine gun won't shoot them at all BUT put some range time in yesterday with my new load federal 3/4 oz.barnes expanders.1900 fps.About 16 inch drop at 200 yards dead on windage wise.200 yards was just for referance,my range didn't have targets at 150 and 175 yards.As a side note I don't recommend shots of this distance without considerable range work and an intimate knowlege of retained energy and wind drift!
