We don't have much open space for long distance shooting around here but I've made an ~850 yard shot down a powerline with my Tikka T3x in .300 Win Mag with Vortex Razor AMG
What's the longest shot you've made?

1053 yards, hit a similar series of target with 3 guns, a bolt gun in 6.5cm, then an AR 10 in 308, and an AR 10 in 6.5cm
I plan to go further with the 6.5s sometime this year, but I think 1000ish is about the max I can hit with the 308

987 yards with a friend's 6.5 CM on steel. The farthest I've shot while hunting was 402 yards on a pig, the rest of the group ran straight to me and I managed to lay down 5 more at various distances before they made it into the woods, I was using a 6.8 SPC I built. This was when I lived in Texas.
50 yards lol with an ar15 and a 9mm pistol.
I was invited to a Gunwerks long range course in Cody, WY a few years ago. Lots of good instruction on basic fundamentals.
I became comfortable with 4-500 yard shots and was able to hit a “steel” elk target at 1300 yards. First shot was low, but dialed it in after.
I also learned that I prefer 6.5cm over 308, particularly at longer ranges.

876 yds in Gillette WY, on a prairie dog shoot. 6.5 Creedmoor 95 gr VMax. Walked out many times to mark and take a rangefinder shot to the truck. Shot several more that day at similar distances.

About 300 is all I've practiced at. My longest shot at an animal has only been about 125 yards. I prefer easy shots when hunting.

Comfort Zone/Humane Kill... That's Great Static...Stay within the range that you are comfortable with...The Animal Deserves a Humane Kill!!! There's nothing wrong with long range hunting if you're well trained and have the capable equipment...Take Care.

600yds, last day of a 14 day Elk Hunt in the Colorado Flat top Wildersness. Had gone up from base camp to about 11,000 ft on horseback with my late Pops and his buddy. I decided to leave them and plow snow up a hill once I crested that hill I spotted 50 head of Elk down in a valley below walking away from my position the Bulls were way out of range nothing but Cows in shotable distance so I plugged a trailing cow for meat. With the over all elevation, ambient temp and drop in shooting elevation (around -350 ft from my shooting position) I knew my 7mm mag was going to have some serious bullet lift. First shot missed with the cross hairs at the bottom of its chest but I could see that the cow ducked as it hit an Aspen behind it. I dropped 12" below the chest and split it's spine directly above the lung area, dropped dead in its tracks. My father had lost a shooting bet with me before the hunt started. He lost another bet when I hollered at them to bring the horses. He said wheres it at son? I said you see that dark spot in the snow down there. Both him and his buddy said bullshit!
That is the best Hunting trip ever with the Pop's and a crazy morning shot atleast for me.
First gen Browning ABolt SS Stalker 7mm mag, Leupold 3.5x10x50, Burris SS rings and bases.

Well I have shot at the moon a few times, I think that's my longest shot. I did Kill a deer at 450 yards in South Texas. A long sendaro probably a half mile out Encinal Texas. Fabulous place to hunt back in the 80s.
There's a place outside Eufaula IIRC that offers long range training for hunting out past 1000 yards. Not sure if they use it as a general range or just for the classes. It's REALLY expensive though:
