Well I've read that the previous record holder, Carlos Hathcock, made his shot with a specially modified .50cal machine gun, so it would be the same calibre. Still, though, it's a good point. Artillery can kill you from a lot further away - should it still count? No way.
A single round direct fire? I'd count it.
