Bryan Litz just recently shot 3 shot group at 2 miles using Paul Phillips heavy barreled, target rifle built by Lethal Precision in 375 Lethal Mag(585HE necked down, very similiar to 375HE )... It grouped 17.5 inches tall by 22 inches wide.
I understand that there was 2-3 times as many guys wanting to try the 2 mile shoot at Whittington than there was openings for. So check out Tonopah, NV 2-Mile Match Aug 24 - 26, 2017 Dates are August 24 to 26 (site zeros on the 23rd).. Ed

this weekend at Valdina Ranch , west of San Antonio.

About 2 mile military sniper shot kill of Isis soldier in Iraq that is the latest news... By Paul Philips, from FB... In response to the latest amazing 2.1 mile Canadian Armed forces sniper shot in question, A lot of my friends have been asking if this is possible or not. If there are any doubters out there?! There will be many events in the USA where you can come watch 1-2 mile shots. Visit ELR Central, FB, for more Information. The science of accuracy and improvement of rifle components have made this possible. Below is a photo of a 17x22 inch consecutive 3 shot group @ 2.05 miles made with my 375 Lethal Mag. Bryan Litz on the trigger and Emil Praslick on the wind. In the other photo, these 3 impacts were made by fellow team mates Mitchell Fitzpatrick, Derek Rodgers and Bryan Litz. Emil Praslick and Paul Phillips on the wind. All three impacts were made with only 3 rounds each. So within 3 rounds for three shooters in a row we were able to make impacts on a 36 inch plate (1 moa) at 2 miles or 3613 yards. The purpose behind our research is to help improve technology and increase our hit % at extreme ranges. This will help save lives and bring our troops home safely. Semper - Fi !! Picture of Paul's Gun. Mitch also holding it with him. Mitch was last years 2 mile shoot winnerm and Mitch's shop built Paul's big gun..Ed

Getting close at that range on a human is skill. Hitting is a luck factor.

Shooters now are talking more; short, fat cases sticking, pockets not lasting as expected. Trying to get best speeds the things raising pressures are bad case proportions, too fast of powders, and the debth of the bullet into the powder space, as shown in the picture below.. My 375, 416, etc testing loaded like bottom one, in longer freebore....Ed.

Expected a Rem XP100 but got a 10mm Glock from standing.
Holy schidt, I bet he couldn't do that again and would admit to such.
Still really cool!
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
