This video tests the feasibility of the iconic 'Shooter' movie mile shot using a CheyTac M200 Intervention rifle. While the rifle is exceptionally accurate, the team found hitting a small target like a soup can at a mile is statistically improbable and relies heavily on luck rather than repeatable skill. Factors like spin drift, suppressor mirage, and ammo temperature management significantly impact extreme long-range accuracy.

This video tests the capability of a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) 6.5 Creedmoor rifle to achieve a one-mile shot.
