re: Longest sniper shot, video inside

Technically it has been surpassed but there is controversy about the shot. Somebody can correct me if im wrong but the new longest shot was taken by a british sniper using a .338 lapua. the controversy comes because this is so much farther than the effective range of the cartridge. The story is high mountain air is thinner making it possible some kind of crap. To bad rob furlong got in a bunch of trouble.
