Hitting a 1-meter target at 4,604 yards would require a rifle that is capable of sub-MOA accuracy. Aside from the necessary mechanical accuracy, the ammunition would have to have even velocities, with standard deviations in the single digits. The bullets were most likely monolithic and turned on a lathe. After being turned, they were measured for concentricity and loaded by hand. Perfect concentricity is necessary for a bullet to maintain its gyroscopic stability when crossing through the transonic barrier.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_80793\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LobaevArms.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"russians-set-new-long-range-world-record-2-6-miles\" title=\"Russians Set New Long Range World Record: 2.6 Miles!\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80793\" title=\"Russians Set New Long Range World Record: 2.6 Miles!\" class=\"wp-image-80793 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LobaevArms-400x266.png\" alt=\"Russians Set New Long Range World Record: 2.6 Miles!\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LobaevArms-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LobaevArms-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LobaevArms.png 618w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-80793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A breakdown of the shot (<em>Photo: The Sun<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hardware aside, a 2.6-mile shot would require a shooter to account for variables such as spin-drift, powder temperature, Coriolis effect, Eotvos effect, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, density altitude, aerodynamic jump, and wind direction and speed.<\/p>\n<p>Lobaev makes some very nice hardware. Their rifles are in use by law enforcement, military and competitive shooters around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Though impressive, the unofficial world records are amusing due to the lack of a sanctioning by a governing body. It is hard to consider a long distance shot a world record when dozens of rounds were likely sent down range in the hope of hitting a target.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Bryan Litz created a website called <a href=\"https:\/\/elrc.appliedballisticsllc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"russians-set-new-long-range-world-record-2-6-miles\" title=\"Russians Set New Long Range World Record: 2.6 Miles!\">ELR Central<\/a>. He came up with some standards and best practices for the Long Range shooting community, and though ELR Central is not a governing body, it does include some guidelines in regards to shooting for an &#8220;official record&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Overall much respect to the Lobaev team. Okay team America, time to bring the &#8220;record&#8221; back to the United States!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of Russian shooters claims it broke the long range
