[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 429307, member: 9705"] I think the most cost effective true 1,000 yard elk rounds are the 338 RUM followed very closely by the Edge. The Edge gives up a little on barrel life and burns a little more powder but you get a hair more power. Probably neither will make 3,000 rounds on a barrel but properly shot and cared for will be close enough. The brass is as cheap as it gets for that much smackdown at long range. To me the 300 or 338 WMs don't quite make 1,000 yds. The 338 WM might get to 1,000 yds cost effectively if the 250 grain Berger ever shows up. The WMs are a little cheaper to shoot than a 338 RUM.
