Well, i don't really know. When i made the longest shot, i had no range finder. It couldn't be paced, because it was on the other side of a semi-deep drainage. The gps say it was 230 yard. However, them gps are never 100% accurate.

The deer was sleeping, and never was able to get up. When i arrived at the deer, it was still alive, and when i moved it to better cut it's throat, i discovered it wasn't paralyzed. Opening the deer, revealed somehow, the bullet passed between the top of the lungs, and the bottom of the spine. The bullet didn't really hit anything. The deer seemed paralyzed, and i think it was because of the bullet passing near the spine. The bullet was the 270g Deep Curl.

This year i carried a range finder, and hit a deer at a measured 173 yard. It was a bad shot that broke it's back. I was too shaky standing on my hind legs, and shooting off the tall bipod.
