[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 395814, member: 12"] Pitbull Of course it was certainly luck and the bullet was probably unstable. Never any question. However the shots happened contrary to what the experts here are implying, that is regardless of how many mountainsides were shot with a $1000 of components. We know now that there were 9 sighters and no one here has accurate info on the MG hit at all to say if it happened or not. My personel guess is it may not have. We also know that a similar incident has happened with 5 shots, 5 kills in 28 seconds at over 2000 meters with same gun/bullet combo so there is extreme accuracy in the setup no matter what anyone here says. That there is no doubt. BOTTOM LINE: Because someone here says no and cannot do it does not make it so either. FYI this site is not remotely close to the all knowing only bastion of LR and LRH as you imply It was being done 50+ years ago; the 338 Lapua was improved within one year of it appearing; which was 15 years before this site and changing the shoulder slightly and the name does not make it a new wonderous wildcat; the 375-408 was shot in competition 8 years ago before it was ever talked about here; now this might really shock you in that high end top quality LR guns were being built long before this site and even now by smiths off this site. So nothing new about here only. This is not remotely the only place a high end LR gun can be found built by a smith with more than a few years experience in LRH and self taught ballistics. There are smiths off this board who have built and shot LR rifles for over 30 years and are routinley asked to test LR bullets by mftrs and asked to help design and test LR military rifles, chambers, barrels, groove and land configurations to include the one that made these shots.
