Clarkm: I am sure that NONE of the MANY Rifles I currently own could have ever done that!
Good for those Rifle enthusiasts.
And like "the gman" contended "whats the point"?
And like others have intimated I think their efforts would have been better rewarded with other endeavors.

Don't miss the forest for the trees fellas. While that many shots doesn't sound great, I'd imagine the shooter is back on the bench trying to figure out how to cut it down. Gotta start somewhere. The fact that he even hit the target is amazing. Many bullets totally loose accuracy when transitioning from supersonic to subsonic Pretty cool stuff on how they’re pushing the limits.

I’m sure the SF boys took notes. With their budget, things will get interesting.

And they stopped on shot number 69. It may have taken another 100 or maybe 200 before they made another hit. Unless it can be done intentionally, and repeatedly, it's nothing more than mortar fire.

Ever wonder the same thing about top fuel racing? Easy, because you can. If the military thinks they can swat a turd just a little further out, they'll show up with their check book

I was in SE Oregon and was able to Hit Idaho with one shot from my CZ 452 chambered in 22 LR... using a 4 x 16 Tasco Scope on top...
In fact shooting the same rig, I was able to be shooting off the hood of my 4 Runner, and not only was able to hit Idaho, I even was able to shoot a couple of Ground Squirrels in Idaho while my shooting position was in Oregon...
Amazing stuff... I probably wouldn't haven't been able to do it tho, without the help of that 4 x 16 Tasco on top.

A buddy of mine once took 21 shots out of his 30 Hulk to hit the mile target at Thunder Valley in Ohio and was quite proud of himself!

69 shoots ? big deal should be the 1st shot for a record ,same thing with the longest sniper shot ever made 1st shot should still be the record Carlos Hathcock did that , the sniper from Canada took a few shots before he made the hit/kill. or most sniper kills that should be 2 records one for kills and one for shooting officers with 1 shot and again Carlos Hathcock did the one and only shot on each officers.

I didn’t know any of the long range steel matches, PRS type matches, ever had at the very first stage for everyone (1st shot for everyone that day) was one cold bore shot at a smaller target (say 8”) at or beyond 1000 yards.
I imagine there would be a fairly good number of hits if it was at 1K, but once you start getting into the 1300 and 1400 yard distances, I would expect that hit ratio to go quite a bit lower.
I think it would be cool, but I would not expect the first attempt, completely cold bore for everyone would not have a high hit ratio. Also, Anyone who kills an animal at long range is usually firing a cold bore shot. If your rifle doesn’t put the cold bore shot in the group you fire, your barrel sucks JMHO 😁 Well, isnt a first round miss actually used as a sighter shot? If not, it should be. Fact is that for shots under about 1000 yds. most hunters will go for it on the first shot. And the fact also is that in many cases an Elk or a whitetail buck will stand there and allow numerous shots to be fired at them without running off.

What's the world record distance for a first round hit on something like an 8" plate? i think Carlos Hathcock did it on a general or major North Viet nam soldier with a 50 in 1 shot ?

Funny, but back when I was a kid I got to watch fellas make first round hits at 15-20 kilometers. It was thrilling.
I am..........disturbed.
