So...... What is the farthest shot you have taken on deer with a rifle last year 2012?  In short story please.... I live in california and hunted D 11 zone. 1 bullet, last half hour, very low light because of clouds, 320 yards, up hill, missed heart by an inch, great because i like heart. 30-06 150 gr. Not a bragging Question...It was a nice shot though for the conditions I was in...

Cloud, I haven't taken any long shots last year, but only because I haven't had the opportunity. Where I hunt I shoot at about 85 yds, and then I can look across the field and see deer at 400 yds. I didn't see any across the field last season, but if I had, I would have taken the shot. Since I have seen a lot of them there in the past, I know how small a deer looks in a scope, and how hard it is to keep it still on him. Your 30-06 150 gr. is an excellent choice. That's exactly what I use. 150 gr. Winchester ballistic silvertip. Congratulations on an awesome shot! Btw, what was the wind doing?

Well I have shot deer at approx 150 yards with my browning stalker II S.S. with BOSS .300 win. mag. and using winchster silver tip 180 grain. Shot right on heart and lungs, buck ran about 30 yards and dropped. this 30-06 should be good choice to shot long range same as .300. Few rifles could do long range shooting. Good luck with hunting..
