1874,
I'd bet you practiced this before you shot at game. I wouldn't know how to sight for a 515 yard shot, myself, and even the sportiest loads out of a ML would have quite the downward arc at that range, and even a pointy bullet is not immune to wind drift. I'd probably pass on that with any gun, let alone a ML. The farthest I ever shot a deer was 350 yards, with a .375 H&H with a 270 gr Hornady. This was 35 years ago. Wish I hadn't let that rifle go.
