Way back in the bad ole days of prb and "traditional" ml only, I made a 127 yard shot on a piebald 7 pt er. Hangfire too, only hangfire I've ever had while hunting, was creepin/sneaking up a 4' deep ditch then shooting off a 10" log for a solid rest, 50 cal., prb., 1/60 twist shooting 180 gr in ticking patch with bees wax n deer tallow lube over 110 gr of FFF Swiss with RWS #11 cap, never a hangfire before or since with that rifle.

Longest shot was in 09. Yardage 287 ranged after the shot. Up a beaver swamp/drainage. From a treestand bout 25' up. Big doe crossing swamp 2 beaver ponds up drainage. Rifle is 50 cal. Savage MLII, 300 gr. Speer .458 bullet in a black crush rib sabot, 44 gr. of 4759, CCI 209M primer, Bushnell 3-9X40 scope, at shot deer DRT on high shoulder shot.

I love my SML rifles, 3 Savage MLIIs 50 cal., 2 re-upbuilt Remmy 700 MLs 45 cal. and a 45 "Slewfoot" Encore.
