Interesting article..thanks for posting.
Can't imagine all the info that goes into calculating where a bullet would be at a distance of 4.4 miles..boggles my mind.
Having to take the rotation of the earth into consideration as well as windage. elevation, + who knows what else ?
Who'd want to be a "spotter" at that distance ? ...Not Me !

That's a sweet 220 MOA scope base.

Matthew Quigley laughs at your 4.4 mile shot in pure Sharps Rifle.

10’x7.5”target?
That’s showing how to hit the broad side of a backyard barn"Saepe errans, numquam dubitans --Frequently in error, never in doubt".

Per the article at the 4.4 mile range it was the equivalent of just over 1 MOA square, so a 1.something inch square target at 100 yds…. Not exactly broad side of a barn. Originally Posted by Ol` Joe

How about a 15.4 by 11.8 inches @ 1,000 yards... pretty impressive, IMO
