You could be thinking of the Adobe Wells fort standoff . . 1500+ yards with a Buffalo rifle chambered in 50/90
I was reading about the guy that took the shot recentley . . he was envolved in another stand off later with 5 other scouts against a war party of Indians that lasted 3 days in which the Medal of Honour was awarded to all of them.
I'll track it down later . .
