3.4 mile shot
Holy bat shit!
Most incredibly, Phillips dialed up 625 MOA from his 100-yard zero, 10 degrees of barrel angle. In his shooting position behind the gun, the angle looks as though Phillips is about to send an artillery round downrange. And maybe that’s not so far off, considering the team selected a rifle chambered in .416 Barrett, launching 550-grain bullets.
Then the video shows Phillips, after 21 cold bore shots, make final adjustments and find his mark. The bullet then takes a full 17 seconds to hit the target after being fired. As Phillips launches a second shot, he receives confirmation of impact, and the celebration is on.

EDIT: thanks to rbird7282 for catching my typo, I hit "/" vs "." for sure it makes a big difference!
