My father was egotistical about his shooting skill, but he was sneaky. He'd take buddies along on a hunt, and let them tell the stories of his shots. A fair number of one-shot kills at 400 and 500 yards in front of witnesses--mostly, offhand. I watched him bust the white spot, offhand, at 250 yards...
Sporterized Springfield, so .30-'06 with a Weaver K6. 150-grain Hornady Spire Points. GI specs on the powder.
Some folks worry about velocity, others just go out and kill Bambi...
