Well now that its been done once, rest assured some other group of gun nuts is going to try for 5 miles. It's good to live in a country where people are free to build and shoot that kind of stuff.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Absolutely.. I think it may be easier with a 155mm but we don't live in that free of country. We should be able to have modern cannons the same as modern firearms yet can't. Once they got a hit I can't believe they didn't try for a few more they were allready set up.

I read about it yesterday. If I remember it was over 1000 moa elevation. They had spotters in bunkers near the target. Just about have to have them after 3000 yards. We have a place that we can go out to 4100 yards On big rocks. After 2000 yards with a 300 gr bullet in 338 Lapua Imp. You can see only 3 out 5 bullet impacts. At 3000 yards using 375 Cheytac with lathe turned 370 grain bullet. You see impact on 2 out of 5 bullets. At 3500 yards with 416 Barrett. And a custom 414 gr lathe turn bullet we see about 3 of 5 bullets impact on rocks. Rock wall is about the size of drive in move screen. ONLY shot when there has been no rain for 5 or more days. Rocks need to be dry to see dust fly off them

No record in my book to lob 69 bullets and finally score with 1 Because most people have no idea what it takes to make a ELR shot like that. Most ballistic programs only go out to 4000 yards. That the problem. You have to build your own Just like spin drift and corollis effects on a bullet. Most people dont have a clue
