That is the image that the general public has of what they are capable of, close to zero sound and shooting an apple at a distance of 3/4 mile away.
While it might be possible with enough elevation, it would be a freak luck event.
The .338 was shooting at 1000m, .62 miles. I wouldn’t have wanted to be the apple. At the target there was just the crack of the bullet. At the firing line a muffled whomp.
