Closer, is better with a muzzy... but my longest shot to date is 60 yards. 2010 I took a button buck, neck shot, 100gr Bh209 and a 250 TEZ.

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

Cool Thread...

My farthest ML shot was this year... 101 paces CVA wolf, 100 gr pyro pellets and Hrnandy XTP, open sights. Dropped... Most of the deer I've shot though are under 40 yds...

Default 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.
