Hitting targets at extreme distances requires much skill and precision on the part of the rifleman and his gear, but it would all be lost if the ammunition didn't match.

Hornady's latest cartridge, the 7 mm Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC), drives a comparatively long, heavy-for-caliber, high-ballistic-coefficient (BC) 0.284" bullet to 3,000 f.p.s. with a 1:8" rifling twist.

Rifle cant is an often-overlooked aspect of long-range accuracy, in that, if the firearm’s optic is not properly aligned vertically over its barrel, downrange impacts will not land where intended.

A new long-distance shooting record of 4.4 miles was set September 13 in western Wyoming by a shooter who requested anonymity. Scott Austin and Shepard Humphries, managers at Nomad Rifleman, near Jackson Hole, Wyo., coordinated the massive undertaking that included a support team at the firing line and multiple spotters downrange to call impacts and document/verify the shot.

Springfield Armory’s SOCOM 16—a radically cut-down version of its flagship M1A—breathed new life into the best civilian M14-type rifle and advanced the scout rifle concept to its most potent level.
