Me personally I’ve never had to shoot past 200 yards, never even been in a place where I could shoot further than 200 yards. I’m curious to here about some of you snipers on here.

373 ranged and 350 ranged. Never shot at anything farther. I’ve killed several from 300-330 but I’ll be the first to tell you, although I’ve done it, that’s no chip shot. Gotta have a good rest, calm nerves and know your distance.

Mine is 415. My son at 16 got one at 465.
We have a powerline that you can shoot as far as you want to on it. I have my 7mag dialled in for that specific spot. I don't hunt with it anywhere else on the property. Shooting house with solid rest out the window and bipod shooting sticks for the rear area of the stock.

Only about 130 yards for me but spotted a buddy who shot one at 565 yards with a Weatherby 338-378 I believe. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but he practices at 600 a lot too.

I shot a couple across a 40, climber on one tree line deer on other. 35 years ago. I don’t remember how close the deer were to the trees, but fairly. So probably 400 ish.

I’ve got a couple in the 250 range but that’s an anomaly and definitely not in my comfort zone.

Farthest shot for me was last year at about 200 yards. Most of the places I hunt 100 yards is about the farthest I would have to shoot.
