Thought you guys might be interested in this item. Quite often the question comes up as to how accurate long-range rifles can be. Well a new 600-yard world record was shot this weekend in Sacramento: 0.579" for five shots. That makes the group, center to center, the size of the figurehead on a dime.

Hoppe Breaks NBRSA 600-yard Record with 0.579″ Group
Records continue to fall. Robert Hoppe of Reno, NV just smashed the NBRSA 600-yard record with a 0.579″ five-shot group at 600 yards. Don Nielson just called with the news from this weekend’s 600-yard NBRSA match at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center.
Robert was shooting a 6mm Dasher with Varget powder and 105gr Hornady Amax bullets. His gun has a 28″ Hart Barrel, Panda Action with Jewell trigger, Dierks carbon fiber stock, and Nightforce 8-32X scope.

FYI, the 6mm Dasher is an "improved version" of the 6mmBR case (shoulder is moved forward and angle is widened to 40 degrees). It uses about 33-34 grains of powder and 90-107 grain bullets typically, though many folks use Dashers for varminting with lighter bullets too.
