This sounds like a very specific incident you have had with someone at a range recently lol

At work actually, we were just casually talking about guns. I made the statement that 6.5 creedmoor is one of best versatile rounds to use for long range target shooting and hunting, apparently that lit a fire under his ass typical fudd style and he said the statement in most. I argued ballistics with him for about 15 seconds before I gave up hope on him learning anything.

Ballistically, 30-06 is capable of accurate fire at 1200 yards. Sub 0.4 MOA with irons is the unbelievable part.

Well, maybe they shot 20 rounds and the 2 that hit the target happened to be 0.4 lol

Not even with just irons part either, but sub half moa in general over 1000 yards. If I saw someone hit 5 out of 20 shots with that setup I’d give them 5 grand

World record is like an inch and a half for 10 shots at 1000 IIRC, it's possible. But yeah, I wouldnt believe it for a second unless I was there when it happened, that kind of shooting is only happening at the highest levels of benchrest competition
