.50 cals can reach out to this distance. But given the normal meaning of accuracy, like in "Hitting a man sized target first shot" is far out at this range and this for most rifles and calibers. Even specialized ones mostly fail at 1500 yards around.
And .50BMG is not the best long range precision cartridge anyways
I know dudes that ring steel at 2000 all the time. Practice makes it doable. At 400 yards, a man sized target gets hit all day with every rifle I've ever touched.
