I took a nice fat whitetail doe one time with a .30/30 using factory 170 Silvertips at what I guessed was 150 yds., through the spine high up in front of the shoulder- dead by the time she hit the ground. Later, a buddy lasered from where I was sitting to the gut pile and it was 180 yds. Turned out to be the longest shot I ever made on a whitetail, and it was with a .30/30.
