Didn't see this anywhere else -- sorry if I missed it -- email promoting cutting edge bullets. .
This past weekend at the Raton Thunder 1.64 Mile Challenge, the current Cold Bore World Record was broken twice. The Cold Bore World Record is the only record that is tracked and recognized in Extreme Long Range shooting competitions. These matches are sanctioned by the official governing body, ELR CENTRAL. Both rifle and shooter must be cold with these shots being the first of the day. Shooter must hit 3/3 at specified range at a 36" target. Derek Love (also a team CEB shooter) was the previous world record holder at 2,585yds.
COLD BORE WORLD RECORD
2,653yds
Glenn Swaggart
Bullet Used: LZR 416 500 MAX
On day 1, team CEB member Glenn Swaggart broke the Cold Bore World Record at 2,653 yards. Congrats to both Glenn and his spotter Steve Ream on this awesome feat!

That’s true. I held it about 26 hours hahahaha. But we did set it. The previous record of 2,585 yards was held by Derek, shooting a rifle I built and I was spotting for him that day. This record of 2,653 was using another rifle I built the same weekend as Derek’s last august and another buddy was spotting. Pretty cool to accomplish it regardless. Gun, shooter and spotter must be cold and all three rounds must impact the 36” plate.

You never see the barrel unless you have a couple prisms on it shooting past 4200 yards. That’s the only time I have seen the barrel in the glass

So what defines the world record? Smallest group on the target? Fastest from start to the 3 hits? Since the range is set specifically to that distance what is the overall goal? Just curious.

To hit the damn thing three times 🤣 cold gun, cold shooter and spotter. It’s simple bud. Only 3 people even hit it once. Keeping them on it after that is the trick once you have made the right wind and elevation call to get on it the first shot. At those distances wind is tricky. On the mountains, we get up and down drafts with thermals so you have a lot to look at before the first shot is sent that way. The distance is the key. It is moved out further once it is set. We moved it to 2,874 yards and now that’s the new record. In future matches it will be further, tomorrow will be shot at 2913 if I’m not mistaken.
