[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1215080, member: 69478"] I am kind of confused on your question, first you wanted the ultimate cartridge out to 1000yds, now it's just going to be a backup to your current rifles? Anyway, If you just want a round in the .308 class, I would skip the 7mm-08 and the .308 and get you a .260 Remington or 6.5 Creedmoor. These rounds can push the high BC 140 class bullets between 2800-2900fps. This equals less drop, wind drift, and similar performance to the other big bore rounds pushing heavier bullets slower. If you want to eventually take game ,like elk, beyond 500-600yds I would settle for one of the popular magnums. These will give a much larger punch and transfer much more energy than the smaller cartridges at any given range. To me, there's no point being on the edge hunting elk with a .308 or .260 beyond 600yds when you can be packing a 7mmRM or .300WM, both are the top two magnums out their in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
