I don't have pictures of everything. My 700ish yard mule deer, I can't find the picture. Plus, I have another mule deer I can't find the pic of with my 6.5-284 rear grip that was over 600...Thinking around 640 (140 A-Max). I guess I should keep a log with exact dates and distance These are both just a bit over 600. First one was like 605ish and the other was around 613, both with my 6.5 Leopard (130 Berger.
Farthest antelope buck 1036 or 1037 (162 A-Max). I would need to go back and look at the actual number 7WSM
My son's furthest kill with my 7mm SAUM was 749 yards (162 A-Max).
Dan E. using my 6.5-284 with 140 AB's, cow elk at 680 yards
666 yard cow with one of my 7mm Dakota's (200 Wildcat)
Multiple prairie dogs past a grand, and three past 1500 yards
Awesome xp

I don't have a pic but I did have a witness. Whitetailed doe @ 732yds w/243AI and 105 A-Max.
I shot 3 coyotes during deer season last fall all running/trotting @ shallow nearly straight-away angles @ +/- 400yds. Fall of '20 I head-shot a coyote streaking dead-away @ 503yds with 2 witnesses. The coyotes were all taken w/1:8 22-250's shooting 75gn A-Max @ ~3300fps. One is a M70 CRPF "Coyote Lite" rebarreled w/Rock #4 spiral fluted in a McMillan Classic pattern, the other rifle is a Kimber Montana w/Lilja 1:8 factory taper dupe @ 22". The M70 settles down faster but the Kimber is handier and sees more action lately.

I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
The question actually was what is the typical distance we take big game at, not the longest distances at which we've done it. My reply was #1 because most of the time I'd rather try to get close. Not in this case, though, when this big male baboon stopped after a 640 meter (700 yds) run when he thought he was safe, too far for a 105gr VLD from my 6XC to reach him. :-))

Closer is better for sure on game animals. Cool Baboon!
Extreme long shots on varmints like prairie dogs is good practice

Couldn't agree more.....42 yds. The baboons, however, were much too smart for me.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

42 yards is stunt shooting.
25 yards is more ethical

rcamuglia, 600 yards or over No, it's so flat here you can stand on a brick and see the Gulf of Mexico, if your looking down a road, but every where else is Brush, most places it's hard to see much over 200 yards, very rarely take a critter over 200 yards. Rio7
yanno, I believed that tale, right up till the part you said Burris.....bwahaha just kidding
Says the guy shooting Bushnell! BWAHAHAHAHA! Those Elite Tacticals are F'N amazing! I have a DMRII I use to check all my load development and made 1/4 MOA hits at a mile with it.
All the steel shooting posers with their pics in this thread. Man, shooting steel and shooting game a whole separate ball game folks! Murphy doesn't jack with you as much on the range! BWAHAHHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
RedBeard308, If you can't hit a long range steel target on the range? not much sense shooting at critters long range, or do you use live critters for target practice?? Rio7
My longest poke on steel was at the first Icebreaker I went to. 1970 yards, 3 consecutive hits with 140 Amax's from a factory Ruger hawkeye Predator 6.5 creed. The little red plastic tips were all laying right under the gong. 2 of them looked like new and you could load them back up and go again, but the 3rd was kinda mangled. Not much poop behind a creed at that distance and the angle of impact must be pretty steep......
