At a game animal with a muzzleloader I shot out to 85 yards with a .54 caliber Renegade and roundball. With a modern center fire, it was well over 500 yards.
At paper targets, I have shot paper plates out to 150 yards with a muzzleloader.

With my flintlock on deer, 125 yards, load was 80gr FFF Goex and a patched .530 ball...
At targets, was a shooting competition that I entered about 15 years ago...Same gun, load was
bumped to 120gr FF Goex and a .530 ball...Three targets, steel plate bears about 2 feet high, I dropped 2 of the 3...
With my Knight, 147 ranged yards on a 9 pointer...Load was 90grs of Pyrodex R-S and a 250 ShockWave...

The longest shot I've taken and hit with any gun was a 300 yard shot at a 2ft x2ft target, with a friends 45-70 sharps and open sights.
I think it was more luck than skill, but hell I'll take it.

Longest ML shot is probably about a tie between my 54 cal Renegade and my Genesis, about 80-85 yds.
Longest rifle shot, heck, shorter than the MLs.

I've got a good friend named Tim Lambert fromMN that holds one of the top ten shots,2315 meters with a custom built 308. His scope mount has 300 min of adjustment built in it!! He said at that distance the bullet has 13 sec. of hang time on it!
