low plains drifter 9,457 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 all joking aside that shot is impossible at near 2.2 miles the target wouldnt been in the scope Scope me bollocks, never underestimate the precision of the open sighted chinese break barrel 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 19,322 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 But can he eat a fruit pastel without chewing it ...anyone remember that episode of the professionals where he shot the car window to get bodies attention from a mile and half away he worked out it would have just enough power left to just crack the window avoiding killing his mate ....now that's a shot! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 610 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hold over for a .338 lapua not too far off 120 metres.... Basically dropping it in like a morter round! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Does anybody know what calibre he used? I have fired a 338 lapua and a 7mm rem mag out to 1000m and the drop is quite extreme. The 338 can supposedly be shot reasonably accurately to 2000m give or take, but I don't see how. 3600m!!! That is insane! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 610 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Can't find anyone whose shot .50bmg over 2500 metres, that's 75 metres hold over. 50 cal definitely wins in the distance stakes! Basically it's pure luck and a good spotter calling you on target Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 610 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Apparently the max distance a 50 cal will theoretically travel is 8800 metres.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have always considered 50 cal too much gun and never really looked into them in case I got tempted lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Your reticule would be bigger than your target at that distance, and no breeze over the whole distance, what ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
