A Canadian soldier in Iraq has killed an ISIS militant from more than two miles away, shattering the world record for a confirmed sniper kill in military history.
The 3,450-meter shot, which took about 10 seconds to reach its target, was independently verified by a video camera and other data, the source said.
The prior record was held by a British sniper, Craig Harrison, who in 2009 shot a Taliban gunner from 2,475 meters, or about a mile and a half, away during an operation in Afghanistan.

Just confirmed that Thomas was correct above. It was a McMillan TAC-50, a .50-caliber.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/06/22...s-fighter.html
"While the ammunition that Canadian special forces use in the TAC-50 is “off-the-charts powerful,” with some 13,000 foot-pounds of force when it comes out of the muzzle, the speed of a bullet, a 750-grain Hornady round, is not as important as the aerodynamic efficiency of the bullet."Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

Apparently damn good ones. Canadians be like "we wuz snyperz N sheit!"
"According to Newsweek, the record shot means that three of the top five longest confirmed kills were carried out by Canadian snipers. The top five are:
1: Canadian sniper in Iraq (2017): 3,450 meters.
2: British sniper Craig Harrison in Afghanistan (2009): 2,475 meters
3: Canadian sniper Rob Furlong in Afghanistan (2002): 2,430 meters
4: Canadian sniper Arron Perry in Afghanistan (2002): 2,310 meters
5: U.S. sniper Bryan Kremer in Iraq (2004): 2,300 meters"ALL I ASK IS ALL YOU GOT FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES

No idea, I'm not sure on the ballistics for that round but a 750 grain projectile is almost ordinance. I shoot 168-180 grain bullets in .308. I've shot close to 1000 yards a few times but usually 300-500 is "long enough range" for me. They have a little pocket computer thing where they plug in the velocity, ballistic coefficient, distance, temp, wind speed, barometric pressure, and all of those other things that make a difference at that range. when curvature of the earth starts to matter I'm out . Even shooting small caliber rifles 300-400 yards is challenging with anything more than a slight breeze.
13000 ft lbs doesn't sound like it would be very enjoyable to shoot either. Getting kicked in the shoulder by a mule would probably be about the same as the recoil.
