    A Canadian sniper, eh?

    I'll bet the last thing the man heard before he was shot was the sniper's apology that traveled faster than the bullet!

    Yeh they have a couple of records...

    Brit also got a few long shots and an aussie in the mix too..

    The latest Cheytac375 shots are up there, but the .50bmg has better ballistics yet is only just getting the ranges, thus my idea of seperating calibre's...

    From what I have read the .50bmg is now the favoured round for long distance sniping by all of the coalition forces.
    The Cheytec375 is a great round but would it still have the kinetic energy required to be effective at these extreme ranges?
    At 2 miles the .50bmg would probably still have enough energy to drop a Bull Elephant.
    Regardless of the round used these long distance shots take an incredible amount of skill to pull off.

    I ran a (rough )ballistics chart on the 50 cal > it still had 1222 ft lbs of kinetic energy at 3800 yards and was travelling at 856 fps. However, the real mind bender....look at the drop ---> over a 3800 yards shot it drops 233 yards !!! ( assuming a 700 yard zero)

    Regardless, its still a fluke shot.
    With 10 seconds air time, do you think the target is going to remain dead still for the whole of that time?
    Count 10 seconds and see.
    The shot was probably a near miss and the target moved into it.
    At that range the crosshairs on the scope would completely cover the target as well.
    Anyway, still good shooting. That first shot from a cold clean bore without any sighters is a hard one.
