New Long Range Shot
I saw a video on another media outlet where a fella shot 6012 yds,.
He used a McMillan Action and stock, 416 Barret (which is the King of 2 Mile) , 550 grn Cutting Edge bullet,. The shot takes like 16 seconds to get there,. I apologise for not being able to share a link, but interesting none the less.

That's pretty crazy. I wonder how many times they tried before success.

Well, last i had seen was over 4,000 yards with a 375 Cheytec.
I'd be surprised to hear Cheytec letting this shot alone. I'm sure you'll see some more serious XLrange shots coming from them.

I googled 6000 yard shots and found a couple of references but not anything with a 416.
This appears to be the most recent I can find. https://www.wideopenspaces.com/texas...stance-record/

53 in is a all 3rd argent for that distance. Those guys are incredible.
The farthest I've shot is 550. I don't think I'd want to shoot that far unless in dire need.
