[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1271765, member: 30743"] For ringing steel at 1000 yds any of those will work. Of those three I'd pick the 6.5 Creedmoor in 8 twist. The smaller rounds are more fun to shoot for extended periods. You're not going to want to shoot 100 rounds of 7mm rem mag in one outing. I have a 6mmBR that I use for 1000 yd steel plinking. 107 sierra matchkings at 2800 fps do good work at 1000 yds and is easy on the shoulder, you can shoot it all day. I also use it as my long range prairie dog gun shooting 105 Amax's. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on coyotes at any range. An argument can be made that the 6.5's are going to buck the wind better than the 6's, and likewise with the 7mm's vs. the 6.5's. There's a point where it's not fun to shoot though. [/QUOTE]
