[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2306632"] The inconsistencies of the powder they used would have made them very, very inaccurate rifles. You might be able to do better today with factory supplied powder than they could have dreamed back then. Their bullets were also cast in huge casts where they would make hundreds or thousands in a pour, with very inconsistent lead supplies. If you just look at what they were using, it's pretty easy to see that while they surely made hits at longer ranges, the idea that they were regularly picking off individuals at those ranges just isn't realistic. The reality of employing consistent 1,000y capable snipers is in its first couple of decades right now. [/QUOTE]
