Umm, I don't doubt that an experienced marksman can make a 950 yard shot, but the travel time seemed a bit short for me so I checked up on the cartridge...

It should take about 1.3 seconds for the bullet to travel to the target, it seemed a bit quick in the video, maybe a much easier 650-700 yard shot.

I could be mistaken though.
