    Last time I qualified in the army, we had to hit from 300M and I thought THAT was far!

    A gruesome record but Canadians are quite proud of their snipers. Special forces and police competitions as well.

    The military M16 fires the 5.56 mm bullet on the left. It is not a long range round, and makes a small hole. I do not like this bullet our military uses.

    The 50 mm bullet on the right is the size that was used to make the record breaking shot. It has a much longer range, and makes a much bigger hole. I love this bullet.

    Yeah, the 5.56 is for using up a lot of them. I kind of prefer one and done. The .50 is too damn big without wheels, tracks, or a boat under it. The .338 will do, it's good for 2000 yards, although I have never tried to use it beyond 1000. I sold my, soon after the last time the scope bashed my eyebrow. The same scope doesn't work right with both 200gr and 300gr rounds. Yeah it was a .300 that got me.
