That would be for the longest confirmed kill - over 2500yds. I think he's talking about the much repeated story that a 16" LMT MWS was used to take someone out at over a 1000yds.

Quoted:
Did the British Sniper in Afganistan that had the kill over 1000+yards use a LMT 308? No. Unless there is someone else. The longest range recorded for a sniper kill currently stands at 2,475 m (2,707 yd) and was achieved by CoH Craig Harrison, a sniper from the Household Cavalry of the British Army. It was accomplished in an engagement in November 2009 in which two stationary Taliban machine gunners were killed south of Musa Qala in Helmand Province in Afghanistan with two consecutive shots by CoH Harrison using an Accuracy International L115A3 Long Range Rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum |
