[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 3036805, member: 115285"] I too suggest the 6.5 Creedmoor as a great choice for long range classes. Lots of good guns to choose from, and reasonably priced, highly available ammo. The 6.5 Creedmoor gives you a very real ballistic advantage over the 308 Win which is a long time favorite in LR classes. Either are good choices, Creedmoor has an edge. That being said, I took my first LR 1000 yard classes with my DT SRS 338 LM. They didn't recommend it, and didn't think I would make it through the class because of the heavy recoil, and a 400 round requirement. I did, was sore, had fun, spent a lot of money and passed the class. The 338 LM with 300 bergers and carefully loaded ammunition had a ballistic advantage over the 308 guns, and made the 1000 yards much easier to hit at for me. I don't recommend it for beginners though! [/QUOTE]
