Amazing new world record.

Man, that's awesome! Very impressive. I really wish I had an accurate, long range rifle, but I don't have the eyes for it anymore, nor the place to shoot those distances.

Great shooting!

Gary:
I do not understand competition shooting.   None of his shots were in the center of the target.   Once his first shot missed the center, it was better to have them all miss, and stay in a group?

GreyGeek:
By a coincidence I happened to see the following videos about using a .22 caliber rifle to shoot 300, 400 and 500 yards!   Here's the one at 400 yrds.

At that range a 40 gr bullet might not be lethal, but I'd wager that  it would hurt a lot.  The "old standard" of lethality, according to the guys below, is 59 ft-lbs necessary to go through a 1/2" pine board.

And, for the doubters, shooting a roast at 300 yrds, wrapped in 4 layers of denim:

An old 5" roast hardly substantiates what anyone should consider an accurate test of lethality...

From what I gathered with a quick Google search, it looks like this particular competition was group shooting and not score shooting.
