"You know what it takes to make a shot at that range? Everything comes into play that far. Humidity elevation, temp, winds, spin-drift. There's a 6-10 second flight time so you have to shoot it where the targets going to be. Even the coriolis effect, the spin of the earth comes into play."
-Bob Lee Swagger (Shooter)

In his book, Chris Kyle described his two longest shots. They were, I believe, on the order of 2100 and 1600 yards. He was shooting the Accuracy International bolt rife chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. He stated that, on shots that far out, a certain amount of pure luck was essential. I believe that, no matter whether one is shooting a .338 or a.50BMG, the same forces are working on that bullet,
