The newer “world record” is 2361yds that I just did. I’m pretty sure I saw an impact, but It was too far to go take a picture. But I can post a video of me pulling the trigger.
2361 yards! A newer WORLD record!

I think the only thing the slug hit was the ground when it lost momentum and energy.
I feel this was nothing more than an unsubstantiated publicity stunt that may backfire on AF.

My .510 Texan Looks awesome... But no matter what I do it is about 3 moa at100 yards. So at 2056 yards nope... Trying to hit a water jug at 500 real tough.. My .510 is hard to spot impacts at 200-300 yards....

A good shooter is capable of making a 3 moa gun into a 1/4 moa gun for a couple shots once in a while…but so is a poor shooter.

1.5 MOA will be more than enough to hit a 3' square target at 2058 yards.A good shooter is capable of making a 3 moa gun into a 1/4 moa gun for a couple shots once in a while…but so is a poor shooter.
But if the 700 feet high trajectory claimed is correct then hitting the target once was more fluke than accuracy.

Reality check for my 2361yd shot:
Custom 7mm airgun
Barrel: 48” long, 1:14 twist
Set pressure: 3000psi
Muzzle velocity: 1052fps
Projectile: 106gr BT
RA4 BC: 0.220
New scope mount: 25 degrees
Barometric pressure: 30inHg
Temperature: 70 degrees F
Humidity: 40%
Time of flight: about 18 seconds
I hope that satisfies the naysayers.

Scott, is there any chance you could post a pic of you doing a fist pump or maybe high fiving someone? I think that would go a long way towards proving your shot to the skeptics.

Where did you shoot this at ? Pretty sure SLO range only goes out to 1450 yards ? Hard to find land to get that far ? No pictures or video ? Witnesses?

I think I found it! After you shot it, it must have had a bunch of energy in it and drop over here!

Wait a minute....
I don't see where you took the Earth's rotation into account. Or maybe you took the shot counter to the Eath's rotation to effectively increase the projectiles speed relative to ground???
Did you take a sighter?

Coriolis effect is mostly a default setting on most ballistic apps and I’m sure Scott has input his shooting direction. At that distance and flight time coriolis indeed has an effect on the projectile.
