[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 882612, member: 74047"] I realise I’ve already asked a similar question on another thread but another forum member has me thinking about this. If I want to be able to shoot to 1000m comfortably what calibres do people recommend? I was thinking 338 Lapua but I’m open to any suggestions. The catch is that it has to still be able to hit hard enough to kill say an elk at that range cleanly. I hunt sambar and they are very stocky and tough animals where a fully grown stag can average up to 770lbs and have been known to get over 1000lbs and they can soak up the punishment. So what calibres other than this do people recommend for this hunting at this range for these species? Cheers, JP [/QUOTE]
