I have looked and listened carefully. Twice. There is no mention of the actual range for this claimed "Longest" shot.

If it's US based video, then that fellow is shooting NRA black powder silhoutte rules, I reckon, as US BPCR rules don't allow the striker fired Borchardt. Great rifle, but I don't have one any more.

So, somewhere between 600 and 1000 yards, I guess. If he has time to casually move his head over to the spotting scope, then that seems to jibe. But post-shoot editing can be deceptive!

Wind conditions must be quite uniform!

That is about what I was guessing, from the time delay. OK, great shooting at that distance. But there is nothing new about shooting at 1000 yards. Even I have done that - and sometimes hit the target! So why the "longest ever" hype?
