What would be the maximum range you would feel confident shooting at a bull with a .243 Winchester? Just curious.

What would be the maximum range you would feel confident shooting at a bull with a .243 Winchester? Just curious. 300 yards for me, situation right and stay off the big bones. Been done. Lungs are lungs. Animals don’t go far with those punched thru. Not my first choice in caliber however.
