When I first clicked on this, I was thinking to myself: "How can the shooter even see the target through his scope, given the elevation/altitude-angle of his rifle?" Then I finally looked more carefully, and (with some embarrassment) realized there was another optics device mounted in front of the scope. Ahh, that must be some type of mirror system to add extreme MOA correction to a fixed barrel and scope/sighting system. I never saw this before. Did some quick searching, and it is a TACOM HQ Charlie Tarac. Very cool.

After doing a bit of number crunching the apex of the bullet would have been somewhere been well over 13 000 ft above ground. It's hard to calculate how quickly the bullet loses speed due to drag but I used a protractor to measure the launch angle and it was bang on 20 degrees. when you plug in a muzzle velo of 3300 ft the figure turns out to be 19800 ft above launch point. This however assumes that the bullet only loses velo due to gravity and not drag. After accounting for total time in air and total distance it would I can make some estimations and it seems the apex would seem to be between 13000 and 18000ft. Also Nevada is fairly high above sea level, lets just assume 3000ft and your bullet is potentially topping out above 20 000ft above sea level. I wonder if you need FAA clearance to shoot this thing. lol. Very cool video. I guess watch out for airplanes.

I watched Mark ( Mark and Sam afterwork) firing 2 miles with 338 LM at a target 2 ' × 2' . He fired as I remember 12 rounds all were right on elevation but the wind kept shifting and gusting so the couple of impacts he was able to make were for the most part luck. He'd hit left then rt all within a couple feet of steel. That wasn't luck but timing the various wind directions and gusts was impossible without some. I counted 7 seconds from firing to impact at 2 m.

The first shooter stated something profound that even effects 1k let along 7.07k distance. Light refraction. It has a effect on visual poa you see versus what it actually is mechanically.

I5s something you almost never see talked about on forums or by top shooters publicly. It's kept quiet.

The compensation for drop is pretty crazy, let alone windage which would make it an impossible shot over 15 knots....the earth rotated one and twenty fourth seconds by the time the shot succumbed to gravity.....
@joshuaclark3414 Жыл бұрын
Earth didn’t rotate any. If the earth spinning can affect bullets “Coriolis effect” then why doesn’t it affect helicopters? Or planes? If it were true then a helicopter could hover and the earth spin beneath them. Think about it. That’s a fairy tale. Sorry. I know you love your fairy tales.

@@joshuaclark3414 they are affected. The effect is negligible. Maybe take 2 seconds to use google before you spout off at others. Better yet, how about you go and show proof or prove that that the coriolis effect doesnt affect planes or bullets since you're the one trying to convince people that you think you know better.

You must be aware how gunpowder burns faster on a hot day... and a round sitting in a hot chamber simulates the same thing. The hotter it gets and the longer the round warms in the oven... the faster the bullet comes out. Metal expansion is a far secondary effect.

Great work and art, I beg to differ with this discipline of rifle shooting due to the fact that rifle is a direct shooting weapon and it’s beauty lies there. This form of extreme long range shooting changes the very purpose of rifle. Moreover, in which practical scenario this capability would be required?

Major point. The correct term for what’s happening here between morning and evening is indeed ‘refraction’. But it isn’t refraction of light having an effect on the scope’s view. The term ‘refraction’ is used by snipers to represent the change in density of the air during the day. The effect of this on the round is the same as the effect of air density on light, but not in terms of the quantity of the effect. The effect on the light and the scope, even at these ranges is trivial. However, the effect of ‘refraction’ on the round over 4 miles is profound between morning and evening as this video clearly demonstrates. I haven’t got to the end yet, but I confidently predict the round was being ‘refracted’ down (that is the direction of this effect, morning to evening all other things being equal) so much they couldn’t see it striking the ground using their sighting paraphernalia (scopes, people and cameras). What amazes me is that this group of people didn’t know this. I learned it 55 years ago as a kid shooting for my school… and I’m definitely no sniper, in fact I’ve not shot a gun since then! EDIT: Turns out I was correct. Further, they were saying that the conditions were perfect. They were not, a breeze has started and changed direction by 170 (look at the flag) which accounts for the first round caught in camera being down and to the right (once they has lifted the barrel without knowing why it would work) to compensate for the ‘refraction’. Further, they changed the clicks without noticing the wind then changed back 170 degrees so the next shots went left. Then the wind dropped to zero (the flag flopped) and that was their first ‘hit’ (PS: and whilst this will seem like I’m a know it all, when it comes to this I really am not…. draw your own conclusions about the depth of knowledge this implies for this group) 😊
