A record-breaking shot of 5,000 yard (4.57km/2.94mi) was made by Charlie Melton of Charlie Mike Precision last 30 September 2017. According to The Firearm Blog, the shot was made with an Armalite AR-30 chambered in “.408 Tejas” that was built with Brad Stair of Performance Guns. Their next plan is to start working on hitting the 6,000 yard mark, of course.
