Back in 1984 I made the longest shot I have ever made. I was shooting a .54 CVA Big Bore Mountain Rifle. It was a fat doe and the range was 80 yards. I was shooting a round ball with a poly-patch pushed by 120gr of GOEX 2-f

I'm with you johnnyo, I prefer to "keep it up close and personal". That's why I hunt in the woods. I hunt with my ML's the same as I do bowhunting, "ambush style". Nothing against those that like to push the limits, I just like to keep it in the woods so my longest shot with a muzzleloader was probably less than 60 yds...BPS

A little over 90yds. T/C Encore 110gr 777 250gr shockwave. Our Va farm all stand sites are set up for our bow hunting except one thats on our food plot. 8 pointer came out facing me in the opposite corner and as he stood I placed the SW in the base of his neck. Bang ...flop.....

Long-range Muley
Took this Mule Deer at 236 yds. with a single shot to the neck (that was all I could see in the scope). Round entered his neck low, severed his jugular, and passed straight through his neck bone which paralyzed him before he bled out. I recovered the bullet piled up next to the hide Bullet - 250 grn. T/C shockwave yell. sabot & 150 grns T7 pellets & 209 primer.

Well, it wasn't a shot at game, but last year I took a shot at the standard target at 600 yards with a .58 T/C Renegade shooting a Maxi-Ball in front of 120 gr. Goex ffg, and a CCI 11 Mag Cap. Fired from prone over sandbags.
Missed the target by 13 feet.
This is why I keep my hunting ranges to under 100 yards.

White Model 98 Elite Hunter in .451 caliber. RWS #11 cap, 100 grains Pyrodex P, 426 grain home cast conical. 200 yards on a feeding doe. Shot was taken from one hillside to the next, laying angled on a slightly downward slope in the prone position. No wind. DOA
I had practiced at longer ranges up to 220 yards that summer and early fall with the intention of pulling off such a shot just to prove I could do it. Because of the practice, I had complete confidence in the rifle and the holdover required for such a shot.
I'll probably never try that again.
