I'd have to look really hard for a 500+ yard shot on any quarry here in WI. My average shot for deer is about 50 yards. I HAVE taken some shots that were over 200 yards but then I've also taken some at 10 yards. Most of the time you can't even see beyond 75 yards where I hunt.

Good shooting on your part though although at those distances maybe a .270 is a bit on the light side if that cow only flinched a bit with the first hit.
