I'd have to look it up to be sure but I think that is the recorded longest in fire in action. Another was pretty close to that from a Canadian sniper using a .50 cal.
never put much faith in the UK record, the bullet that was claimed to be used went subsonic IIRC 600 yards short of the claimed distance, a bullet can remain stable through the transonic stage, but then fly another 600 yards in the subsonic mode and still impact within 1/2 moa?
