Wow! The 2020 record was defeated by a 4.4-mile target hit. Rifle is chambered in .416 Barrett

JACKSON, Wyo. — The world’s farthest long-range rifle shot was fired Tuesday, surpassing the previous record by nearly half a mile

How close to the orange would it have to be to count? because if it's the whole sign... at some point it's just luck..

But stuck more often.
Watching that video, it looked like the target was very small, then when the guy walks up to it I was like what the heck?

Lots of folks shoot to 1000-1500 yards with good/great success with various calibers. The upper end of that is not quite a mile (obviously). It just gets more difficult every increment after that mile. I wonder where the "walls" are (depends on cartridge, speed, wind, everything---probably some things I've never had to account for) as you get out past 1760. Like someone above mentioned, math, precision of loads, shooting position, breathing, conditions, etc are all factors.... amazing shooting a mile in my experience. 4+ seems just insane, yet very cool?


Edit: just looking up the .416 Barrett. It's basically built for this (as much as anything not labeled "artillery" is).

Cool chart if you were into these types of things.

Here, do some geometry X-D

Of course, for all we know, there might be more downward angle built into that mirror system on the front of that scope. Sheesh.

Your pic just made me wonder about the optic on that beast. That cost a few $$,$$$.$$ for sure.

World Record Extreme Long Range Shot 4.4 Miles - Nomad Rifleman

On September 13, 2022 the World Record Extreme Long Range Shot was made at 4.4 miles in Wyoming by Nomad Rifleman.
nomadrifleman.com nomadrifleman.com
When testing finally began, each test required the team members to coordinate their schedules away from work, and with at least one forward spotter and Scott shooting, this was a challenge. “We learned that with our 422 grain bullet landing at 689 feet per second, there was rarely enough dust signature to see where the impact point was. In this kind of shooting, a spotter sees an impact and then tells the coach, who does the data crunching, and advises the shooter how to adjust before taking the next shot. But the bullet “splash” wasn’t visible at this range. The forward spotter, typically either Shepard or his wife, Lynn Sherwood-Humphries, when more than 100 yards from the target, would most frequently hear a whistle above, right or left, and a “thump” somewhere behind or between them and the target, but could not see any dust. They needed to get closer to the target to hone in on the point of impact, which is tricky....


...Just before noon, with ominous clouds building on the horizon, Scott made the wind and elevation call of 1,092 MOA up and 17 MOA left. When the spotters heard the reverberation of metal being hit and were sure Lynn’s bunker or the camera systems on top weren’t that metal, Wade called in from behind and said “I thought it was the target, Man!!!” Spotters gratefully refocused and the call went out to the shooter’s location: “WE HAVE OUR FIRST HIT! Confirmed! Confirmed hit!” Wanting to be extra-sure that their eyes were not deceiving them, Lynn radioed again and said “We are going to go confirm now – hang tight!” ......



...Shepard and Scott are quick to point out that their hit is not scientifically consistently “repeatable” even with the same several hours spent walking the shot in to the target. The temperature outside and within the barrel, the speed and direction of the wind at various distances between the shooter and the target, especially at max ordinate above 2,500 feet, will not ever be the same again. Those factors, as well as other environmental conditions, make a shot like this very challenging each time it’s attempted.

Earlier this summer, my old man hit the 1760 target at Price, 4 of 6 shots. When you start looking at the amount of allowable deviation to be in the ball park at that range it's mind boggling that anyone can do it.
Look at the drop on that Barret from 1700 to 1800. 5 MOA. That's 90 more inches of drop from 1700 to 1800 yards. Now imagine you have a standard deviation between rounds of 11 FPS. You'd be more than a foot difference between shots.
