After reading this, I've decided I must be the world's luckiest deer hunter, having killed several deer from the bipod with my crusty 25-06 and the 100gr bullet (mostly Btips) at approximately that same distance (give or take a few yards, 425 being the farthest, one shot per cervid).
Killing oodles of woodchucks with the same outfit, in the same area, gave me enough confidence to try the first one on a standing broadside shot at a 400+ yard doe in 1988. Haven't given it a minute's thought since if the shot presents itself and the wind ain't howlin'.
