[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2115570, member: 52585"] Cheap and 2k just don't go together. The practice alone means burning some powder. Do you reload? If not a 300wm loaded with a heavy high bc bullet or a 300 prc would get you close. If you reload which you should to expect to reliably hit targets at 2k then anything which will sling the largest 30 or 33 cal bullets at 2950 fps or better will get the job done. Factor in recoil, action type required for some, brass and die availability to name a few considerations. There are many cartridges that will attain the goal in a big 30 but IMO the nosler case really hits the sweet spot for 30s. Were it me, id build a 30-28 nosler at 26-30 inches in a 1:8.5 twist running the 245 bergers or any of the other ICBM type bullets of 230 grains or more. [/QUOTE]
