Between 350 and 400 yards with a Rem .270 using 130 gr Rem Core Lok, hard to tell it was on another hill and didn't have a way to measure distance as the crow flies.

175 yards with Knight Disc Extreme, 150 Grains pyro, Hornaday XTP, Bushnell Banner 1.75-4. I was shooting down vineyard rows. Took the deer through the heart and the bullet passed clean through. I couldn't believe it.

Took a 4 pt walking at a decent pace at 75 yards with my Rem 870. He snowplowed for about 20 yards and dropped. I was up in my Summit so the shot looked closer when I took it........I was very surprised when I paced it off.

Also took a doe on a full sprint with a neck shot.........she was dead in mid air. Normally I would never take that shot but she was running from some yahoos that capped about 9 shots at her and I saw a big tuft of hair on her hind quarter that looked like a slug hole as she approached. I figured it was worth the risk because she was in for some misery if wounded like I thought. Turns out she didn't have a scratch on her []

My longest laser range finder verified was a 10 point at 346 yards 2 years ago. Perfect shot through the lungs. .300 Win Mag, 180 grain Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertips. He still ran about 40 yards.
