RE: YOUR LONGEST 1 SHOT KILL
my longest shot was on a woodchuck.sat up top of a high hill looking down over a cut corn feild split by a hedge row and a winter wheat feild.on the other side of the corn feild i noticed some movment.laying from the prone position off a by-pod,aiming down hill i scoped the movment,it was a woodchuck.at that moment i guesstamated the shot to be 450 + yards.i squeezed off the trigger and to my amazement the hand loaded 80 p.s.p.out of my 243 found its mark.without even going down to take a look see,i went back to the truck and got the range finder that i should of had in the first place,i forgot it.i ranged it at 490 yards.then i was pissed,if i had the range finder to begin with i would have move back that 10 or so yards then maybe i would have gotten that ever so elusive 500 + yard one shot kill.
