On October 11th, we published an article<\/a> about a team of Russian shooters from Lobaev Arms who set a new long-range world record\u00a0by hitting a 1-meter target at 4,604 yards, which is approximately 2.6 miles. The rifle manufacturer announced this record on its\u00a0Facebook page <\/a>on October 3rd.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to us, and apparently to the Lobaev team, was that on September 30th Charlie Melton, a retired United States Navy SEAL sniper, shot a 40-inch target at 5,000 yards, smashing all previous records.<\/p>\n

For the record-breaking shot Charlie Melton, who runs Charlie Mike Precision<\/a>, teamed up with Brad Stair of Performance Guns. Over several conversations with Charlie and Brad, I was able to get the details of their record-breaking shot.<\/p>\n

Performance Guns, which is based out of Salt Lake City took an Armalite AR-30<\/a> and modified it to shoot .408 Tejas, which is a modified .408 Chey Tac. The .408 Tejas round when compared to a .408 Chey Tac has a 50-degree shoulder for increased powder capacity. The actual .408 Tejas bullets used for the shot were monolithic, weighed 420 grains, and were turned on a screw machine.<\/p>\n

The Modified Armalite AR-30 had a 31-inch Pac-Nor barrel<\/a> with an Armalite muzzle brake. The rifle was equipped with a Jewell trigger<\/a> that was tuned to 6 ounces. The shot was taken with a Shots Gunsmithing bipod<\/a> that was designed for the Armalite AR-X series of rifles. The .408 Tejas round had an average velocity of 3,065 fps.<\/p>\n

In regard to glass, the team used a Nightforce NXS 12-45 x 56 <\/a>that was set on 21 power. To get the necessary 419.6 minutes of angle to make the shot, the team used Ivey Adjustable scope rings<\/a> in conjunction with a Charlie TARAC prism. (We wrote about the Charlie TARAC prism when we discussed the record-breaking sniper kill by the Canadian JTF2 team\u00a0in Iraq<\/a> earlier this year.)<\/p>\n

Getting to the actual shot, Charlie, and his team loaded several 10 round batches that had different amounts of powder. They connected on the 40-inch target when shooting the 7th shot of the 3rd batch of ammo.<\/p>\n

The .408 Tejas round had an average velocity of 3,065 fps and took almost 13 seconds to reach the target that was about 2.84 miles away. (Photo: Brad Stair of Performance Guns<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

You could say that it took 37 rounds to hit the target, but I think it is more appropriate to say that they found a calibrated load that was optimized for stabilizing the .408 Tejas round into subsonic range, and once the optimal load was found, it took seven rounds to hit the target.<\/p>\n

The team had a Density Altitude of 5,200 feet, and they had to contend with a 3 to 4 mph 1\/2 wind value. The wind was measured with a Kestrel 4500. Plugging the provided values into my Applied Ballistics firing solution, the .408 Tejas round had a flight time of 12.816 seconds.<\/p>\n

Overall, very impressive. What is incredible is the accuracy of the Performance Guns rifle. An accurate rifle at a minimum should be able to hold a 1-inch group at 100 yards. Good glass, consistent ammunition, and a good shooter should be able to hold a 10-inch group at 1,000 yards, 20-inch group at 2,000 yards, 30-inch group etc.\u00a0Charlie shot a 40-inch target at 5,000 yards, which means that at a minimum his rifle is capable of shooting a .80 inch group at 100 yards.<\/p>\n

When I asked Brad about that he said that the rifle that Charlie used grouped 1\/4 MOA at 100 yards, further adding that the rifles that leave his shop typically achieve groups between 1\/4 – 3\/8 MOA at 100 yards.<\/p>\n

Not only is Charlie a world class shooter, but he is also a world-class instructor. Charlie Mike Precision<\/a>, Charlie’s company, specializes in long-range precision rifle training. If you have a desire to learn the finer points of long range shooting, don’t hesitate to schedule a class.<\/p>\n

Charlie and his team are gearing up for a 6,000-yard shot. I have total confidence that his team will beat their own record in the very near future. Great job guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
