Using a custom rifle chambered in .408 Cheyenne Tactical, Bill Poor connected on a 3-mile shot to set what could be a new world record

8 shots?!? I could do that with my Ruger 10/22.

 

[Kentucky Windage]

I bet he struggles with shots within 100 yards.

 

[ShootnBlanks]

Best part, he looks like he can party. Probably shotgunned a beer or 2 right after that

Or right before.

Imagine what he could do with a 6.5 Creedmoor and a couple Pabst pounders. Russians don’t stand a chance.

Would a .243 bounce off paper from that distance?

 

[JMF]

I wonder how many minute rail that is.

 

[Lapper]

Pfffff, that’s not even 16,000 feet!

8 shots?!? I could do that with my Ruger 10/22.

With open sights...

I hope he got a couple down between trigger pull and impact.

 

[KDM]

Good for him. I'd like to know how many wind speed and direction monitors he had up between himself and the target. Even on mostly flat ground the variability can be substantial and greatly affect bullet trajectory and impact location.

14 second flight time is insane!
