what was your Longest kill shot

My longest kill shot was a Bull Moose in NL. Using a Ruger MK II in 300 WM at a distance of 625yds. Fired three shots and hit him twice.
My next best was a Mule Deer buck using the same rifle at a distance of 518yds.
 
I've shot several deer at 699 + yards but my longest shot was on a caribou a long f***g way away. We were breaking up camp after guiding for 6 weeks and a caribou appearred a way back . A couple of guys were blasting away so I said watch this I sat down and locked the military sling in place a put a lot of daylight under the crosshairs and he came tumbling off the ridge. When I got up to him it got up like drunken soldier and I had to finish him off. I found that the bullet a 160 gr partition out of a &mm @ 3100 fps had hit him in the neck but didn't have enough energy to break the neck. I'm sure that someone will call bull#### so I won't say how far I figured him to be. Was this a repeatable shot-not likely but I had done a lot of long range shooting here and in Bisely. Ps I shouldn't have shot but was sort of pushed into it and knew that we had all day to find the animal if wounded in the wide open spaces.

Hmmm well I prefer to actually excercise my shooting skills rather than have to sneak up close just so I can hit something the size of a compact car. :stirthepot2:

FWIW my longest kill shots were:

630 yds lazed on a gopher - 243 Win
575 yds lazed on a mulie doe - 30-06
~220 yds on a gopher with a .22 rimfire
 
A white tail buck 500 yds down a hydro line. I used the hood of a truck with a rolled up parka. 338 win mag 175gr Barnes X. I was regularly shooting that combo at sillouette and going 5/5 on the rams at 500. It went through both shoulders and dropped in its tracks. I was only 30 then and was hunting with my Dad. 2009 370 yds on a springbok. Dropped in its tracks. Same rifle 185gr TSX.

420 yards - LARGE cow moose - Huskavana 7mm 165 federal prem bt
275 yard - med doe - 308 reminghton pump 180 gr federal

both range finder verified - I was laying on the ground for both with lots of time.

Closest shot - about 7 yards on large 10pt buck - as it was charging into my call - when I shot 3 deer ran for where he came out of - I assume they were ladies. As I was on the ground it was more like self defence and less like hunting
