Navy SEAL Hits 5,000-Yard Shot???
I think the usefulness of the "long shot" science has passed into the realm of a money game with super egos??
Hitting the edge of a 40 inch square at any distance has ZERO applicability..
Unless you're shooting a 155MM, then "close" is OK..

Team of Americans Led by Former Navy SEAL Hits 5,000-Yard Shot for New Long-Range World Record
Well, a long-range shooting world record set by a team of Russians at Lobaev Arms didn’t hold up very long . . .
According to a post on Facebook, a team of Americans – led by former Navy SEAL Sniper Charlie Melton – had already reached out a little further than the Lobaev Arms team, and connected with a 40-inch steel target on a shot from 5,000 yards away.
Charlie Melton, who has an impeccable military resume, and is the owner of Charlie Mike Precision shooting school, knows a thing or two about long-range shooting. Among others, Melton reportedly worked with Brad Stair of Performance Guns to accomplish this impressive feat.
The shot amounted to roughly 2.84 miles, and the bullet was in the air for a little over 12 seconds!
