British Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison engaged two Taliban machine-gunners at a distance of 2,475-meters (1.54 miles) with one round each successfully in Helmand Province. As a coup de grace he then fired successfully at their machinegun to disable it. The rifle used by CoH Harrison was a L115A3 Long Range Rifle with a Schmidt and Bender 5-25x56mm scope firing 250-grain .338 Lapua Magnum cartridges.
1000 yards or so.
You will have to be a little more specific. target shooting, sniping, BP or CF or RF?
I'm not quite sure about the 3006, but I know that the longest recorded kill shot with a .308 was at about one and a half miles, possibly more.
1.2 miles per the us marine handbook.
You will have to me more specific. Do you mean any rifle that fires a 30 caliber projectile or 30/06 or 308?
No specific records. The 7mm Magnum is not a military round, nor is it specifically used in long range competition.

The current longest recorded kill made with a rifle chambered in .308 was recorded as 1,250 meters, or just over 3/4 of a mile. It was made by then-Staff Sgt. James Gilliland of the 3rd Infantry Division in Ramadi, Iraq on September 27, 2005. Gilliland and his spotter were providing overwatch for a line company that was going through a neighborhood, performing house-to-house searches for insurgents. The soldiers on the ground were taking fire from a hospital when Gilliland took the shot and hit the insurgent in the chest, killing him.
the longest recorded kill was 1149 yards,but that may have been eclipsed this year in afgan.I just do not know what caliber ws used.
Accurate and effective to about 175-200 yards.
I actually meant a target, Sorry.. I didn't mean hunting
