[QUOTE="SavageShtr, post: 753973, member: 15118"] Pretty much any caliber from .25 to 7mm would get you to 1000 yards better than the 22-250.. With that said there is no perfect or best caliber out there. I would suggest you to determine what you want then look at some loading manuals and run some variables through a ballistics program to see what would be best for you. Barrel life would be a big contributor in you decision, some calibers will burn out the throat a lot faster than others. Another would be trajectory how flat one shoots compared to another, the flatter a rifle shoots the better it should cut through the wind. Bullet selection is another thing to look at you should find the caliber that is going to yield the highest ballistic coefficient which helps with the flight of the bullet towards wind and gravity!! Also what type of bullet or manufacturer of bullets do you want to use Berger, Hornady, Sierra and so on.. All we can do is suggest what to do you are the one that has to make the daunted decision on what to do [/QUOTE]
