[QUOTE="liltank, post: 593728, member: 13275"] Ok.... so since you are sticking with factory ammo, the 7WSM in a 160-180 bullet is going to be your best option. It will have the most energy down range between the 6.5x284 and 300WSM in factory ammo offerings. I have shot the 300WSM to 1000. It is very capable. The 6.5x284 with its factory offerings in the 123-140 grain bullet will be very good paper puncher at 1000 and beyond. Though people use it to 900-1000yds for Elk, I personally would stop at 900yds. It will go the distance for mulies and whitetails. The 7mm with the 180 offering or if you can find an offering in the 162 A-max or 168 Berger will be your best option for Elk at 1000yds. The 300WSM I could only find one offering by Double Tap ammo that makes a 200grn Accu-bond load that would be very effective to 1000. So there it is in a nut shell. I have to say I kind of giggled like a little girl when you mentioned about the custom orders. It took me forever to choose a caliber when I was trying to decide. [/QUOTE]
