...with consecutive bullets -- even though they were 3,200ft beyond the effective range of his rifle. The Household Cavalry veteran's kills from a distance of 8,120ft eclipsed the previous sniper record by 150ft... cheated death twice -- surviving being shot in the head by a Taliban bullet and escaping with two broken arms when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.
What's a little thing like 3,200 extra feet? ;') Bravo!

It was a 45-70.
Much lower muzzle velocity than current cartridges.

According to the detailed report he took over the gun after the first one was hit and fell over dead.
