Does anyone know the true story?
I heard that they had waited for a very long time for the shot to present itself.
The target was supposed to have been a female leader of somekind.
They finally decided to take the only shot presented to them... on a moving bicycle.
He miraculously hit the bike and after the target was stopped, it was the second shot that killed the woman.
("So much for one shot one kill.")
I really hate being misled with "war stories".
Does anyone know that actual story?
Yes, I believe it could be done by the right shooter with the right rifle and the right cartridge and the right weather and light conditions with the right scope.
I have witnessed some really "magical" shots...
The 1000 yard benchresters have placed groups of 7mm bullets pushed from .300 Weatherby cases inside of nine inches at that distance.
Civil War snipers were known to make 1000 - 1500 yard kills with weapons and optics far inferior to modern equipment.
Yes, with a 50 cal. machine-cannon round, I am confident that it can be done!
However, any sniper/hunter worth his salt, would close on the target if there was any chance at all to do so.
