[QUOTE="grit, post: 614566, member: 4112"] I think the key consideration is factory ammo. Handloading, your choices are endless. Long range with factory ammo limits you to calibers with great ammo and a lot of choices. The 223 is great. Cheap, almost no recoil, and endless ammo choices. Next, I'd look at a 6.5. The Creedmore and 260 will be much more effective at long range. Not nearly the ammo selection, but reportedly great ammo available. The 308 has great ammo selection and match ammo. Recoil might be a bit more than you want. Mabey others have more experience with factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
