Well, my old pappy always said, "If you can do it, it ain't braggin', its just a fact. Of course, living in Florida now, do not get many long shots and am to old to do it anymore. But, have a SS 30-30 that still does the trick on whitetail. Longest shot in Florida, 240 yards, handload, CT Ballistic Silvertip...150 grain.......W748...IMHO
