RicW 67 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i dont fully beleive 1400 yards is max for a lapua . but the 2657yards is unbeleivable that was the canadian fellow right? Right on both bruv. "Max effective range" in NATO terms means one shot kill 95% probability. The sniper in Afghanistan was a Canadian, but remember that this was at 9000ft altitude so the air was a lot thinner. Still awesome shooting tho'! Mile and a half! Google in 50 bmg and look at Wikepedia. RicW Quote Link to post

lgray88 4 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 im not having much luck with that link arveyboy. im pretty sure length of barrel on large bore rifle like this affects the total range and muzzle velocity so quite possible that the accuract international rifle isnt as long as what ive seen. liam Quote Link to post
