There's a lot you missed .. although much of it is bollocks. FWiW my neighbour shoots targets at 5,000 yards - that's well past the confirmed kill sniper head shot record .. it's worth pondering why, how or if someone is telling porkies. One Quora level nerd force that many toss on about is earth's rotation, aka the Coriolis effect, aka Bart Simpsons Australian bathtub joke, eg: https://www.quora.com/Does-Earth-s-rotation-affect-bullets https://www.quora.com/Does-Earth-s-rotation-affect-bullets The opinion of an ultra long distance shooter is: don't let Coriolis trouble you, you have so much more to deal with, Coriolis is there but means very little to a rifleman, Cheers. ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP7IKshdiiY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP7IKshdiiY Cutting to the chase, here's one of several well shot multi camera vlogs of: 5023 yards 24" x 24" target ULR shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE If you wander through the channel there's a lot of practical info re: bullets, barrels, hot and cold firing, spotters, scopes, etc.
