[QUOTE="toddc, post: 740157, member: 4566"] Shooting a mile is a blast.....but its not ez.(Less you can find a 1 mile tube). Out of the things mentioned here a 338 with a 300gr slug at 2800+ is about the only real viable choice till you start talking even bigger. Yes it can be done running the berger 180s and 215/230s or a smk 240 at some silly speeds but those are going to be highly problematic compared to a 338. An edge, lapua, norma, 338-378,338 rum,excalibur or chey tac will get it done. Your other option which you mentioned is something slow like a 308 with a bullet that will transition transonic well. Ever held 500 ft of windage on a target? Any option but the 338 is a treeeeeeeeemendous amount of trouble whereas a 338 at 1 mile is only a treeeeemendous amount of trouble. Your choice. You seem to want something that will shock and awe everyone, a 338 edge oughta do it and if thats too pedestrian sounding just call it a 338-300 remington ultra mag edge hurling 300gr sierra matchkings out the end at 2850 feet per second. If that doesnt impress the locals show them the actual bullet...if that doesnt impress them nothing will. [/QUOTE]
