Probably when you run out of $$$.

Think about it though, yeah they fired 69 shots. It took several minutes to setup each shot.

I can't hit a target at 50 yards. Its tough to get the mind clear and the heart rate down, breathing under control, and then try to figure out if the siting is off or you are off. Hell, siting in a firearm is a challenge. Changes in ammo have effects. The environment is always changing.

Anything at this range probably won't have any real world use cases. Nobody is going to try to shoot a deer at 4.4 miles. The military isn't going to use it in war.

What you will see is a ton of data being shared. Someone else will set a record in the future. And we will get to see that data. It really is interesting.

But I doubt you could take all the ammo in the world and randomly hit that target at that distance without a hell of alot of thought and planning.
