A new long-distance shooting record of 4.4 miles
Thought some of you gun guys might appreciate this. I am intrigued by long distance shooting and have a rifle doped out to 1000 yds. Its hard to find a place to shoot long distances.

A lot went into this shot.

https://www.americanrifleman.org/con...et-in-wyoming/

Quote:
A new long-distance shooting record of 4.4 miles was set September 13 in western Wyoming by a shooter who requested anonymity. Scott Austin and Shepard Humphries, managers at Nomad Rifleman, near Jackson Hole, Wyo., coordinated the massive undertaking that included a support team at the firing line and multiple spotters downrange to call impacts and document/verify the shot.

It took the pair more than 20 months for the rifle to be built, craft the bullets, collect the accessories and assemble to expertise to accomplish the feat. It was shot No. 69 that hit the 8" orange circle, 24.5 seconds after the shooter squeezed the trigger. It punched through the 4'x10' thin metal sheet only 3.125" from dead-center.

Multiple shots to walk a gun onto target are common when extreme long distance is the pursuit, but this range presented a whole new set of challenges. To reach that distance, the bullet rose 2,500 feet above the bore, into wind meteorologists only dope by weather balloon. Despite the unmeasured variable, the record-setting shot resulted from a 53-m.o.a. wind call in ground breezes that averaged 8 mph. Elevation adjustment was a mind-boggling 1,092 m.o.a. Spindrift adjustment was calculated at 93.80" to the right.

“These types of shots are just for fun” explained Shepard. “This is not for hunting purposes, and the hit isn’t consistently repeatable yet. Maybe the people who beat our record and the other smart cookies in the ELR [extreme long range] world will be able to make first-round hits at these distances in the years to come, but at this point, it isn’t a sure thing.”

The rifle was built by S&S Sporting in Driggs, Idaho, and assembled from customized parts and accessories from Canada, New Zealand, Arkansas, South Dakota and elsewhere. It is chambered in .416 Barrett and used a hand-lathed Cutting Edge MTAC 422-grain bullet. Muzzle velocity was 3,300 f.p.s. and it hit the target at 689 f.p.s.

He may have, but a bullet that will go that far ain't cheap... 1000's would be tens of thousands of dollars in ammo

1000 yard shots aren't exactly uncommon these days. Even my BIL who cheaped out on his rifle build has pretty good luck with it.

I figure if I can do it anybody can. The biggest problem is finding a place to do it. I did it at a school in Montana. We had a range outside of San Diego that went out to 860 yards.
Once you get your scope doped its fairly straightforward to repeat provided you use the same ammo.

Some, yes.


We set up balloons and have a gong at 1000. Shot is East to West so that SW Kansas wind can equate to some impressive holdovers.

Hit 1000 with .308, 6.5cm, and 338LM

There are guys out here that would embarrass me, too. Some real skill.

One time I did a man in Laos at a mile in a half in a heavy cross wind. Maybe 3 men in the world could've made that shot. Killing is all I know.

With the way guns are built now, the advancements in ammo, scopes, and knowledge that is available to read. Shooting 1000 yards is about the same as 600-700 yards 20 years ago.

Shit I could probably get everyone on this board hitting 1000 yard shots within 2MOA within an hour with each person.

Pretty incredible deal, but its really just kind of a trick shot. The physics make it interesting though.
