[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 899784, member: 14053"] I have been in 1000 yard Br. for over 13 years and have seen many hunting guns brought and shot at 1000 yards. I can tell you a 308 is a poor choice. If you don't get loads and the right bullet it goes subsonic and shoots all over the place. 30-06 isn't competitive either. The little 6 BR will outshoot either of them hands down. The 85 grain Sierra hollow point BT was made for hunting and if you ever shot a deer or bear with one you would agree. That little bullet is devastating. The 6 Br with an 8 twist will run a 105 grain bullet at 3000 feet a second with great accuracy. Lapua cases last forever and you only shoot about 30 grains of powder give or take a little. They are very easy to get shooting because it seems the accuracy nodes are big. Herman aka bounty hunter and 4xforfun are both 1000 yard shooters and they are right. A 6.5-284 is a good choice too but they are barrel burners and sometimes really picky about what they want to shoot. A 300 WSM is also a very good choice. Great case life and plenty accurate. Holds a lot of todays records. Matt [/QUOTE]
