    Impressive....2,500 yd shot.

    Not many people have the resources to even do something like this, except maybe Trident.


    Pretty cool nonetheless.

    Very cool. I wonder why his first bullet ended up tumbling.

    The bullet was Sub-Sonic at that Point and had lost Stability.

    According to the video his bullet enters transonic flight @ 2400yds...and his target is @ 2530yds.

    It's quite common for a bullet to become unstable and "tumble" once it enters the transonic flight region. Some bullets resist it better than others. The projectile's base plays heavily into this equation.

    For example 175gr. SMKs almost never tumble due to entering transonic flight, however 168gr. SMKs tumble constantly when entering transonic flight.

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    Good stuff. It just goes to show how far someone can get a hit with their rifle.

    I would love to own enough ground to be able to shoot that far.

    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." - John Dean "Jeff" Cooper, The Art of the Rifle
