In Joseph T. Ward's great read, "Dear Mom: A Sniper's Vietnam", the author claims to have been trained to make shots on individual enemy soldiers out to 2000 yards. He further cliams to have successfully made that shot during his tour in Vietnam. Are their any confirmed kills at that range, using 7.62x51mm match ammo or any other 7.62 cartridges?
I realize that Sgt. Carlos Hathcock made some long shots using a scope mounted 50cal. MG., but had never before heard of 2000 yard shots being confirmed on individuals, using the bolt action sniper rifles.
