My younger brother has been practicing with me on steel out to 550 yards this year. At 25yo, I just got him into hunting a couple of years ago, and while he's taken a couple of does, he's never shot a buck. Yesterday was the last day of deer season. When the opportunity presented itself, my brother was going to use my .243AI/105AM combo on a nice small 3x3 MD buck at a bit over 500 yards, but the buck took off with his does before we could get him reasonably set up and ready for the shot. This little fella jumped up at 170 yards, and my bro decided to take his first buck. His Marlin XS7 .308 with 130gr TTSX at 3000fps did the job!
