Holy crap! Despite the easy conditions he talked about, it takes a lot of credit given that the ammo he used was quite smaller then those employed in the previous records (12.70, i think). However, I´m not quite an arms expert, but i heard that the rounds of this new record are the best available for snipers.

Yes..the previous record was made with a McMillan in .50BMG...this time with a AI in .338 LM.

 

It's a great ammunition for long range sniping.
