[QUOTE="Jordan Smith, post: 665187, member: 44423"] OP, My opinion is that you should choose whichever cartridge suits your fancy, since they'll all get it done at 1000 yards as long as an appropriate bullet impacts the ribs at ~2000fps! It sounds to me like your preference is to lean towards the practical, cost-effective side of things, and that being the case, I'd probably go with a 7mm of some sort. Of the calibers you mentioned, it's the biggest bang for your buck as a sub-1000 yard hunting cartridge. You'll spend less on loading ammo, practice more, and endure less recoil and muzzle blast. Figure out the maximum range you'll shoot game, decide which bullet you want to shoot, calculate the necessary muzzle velocity that will get you an impact velocity of around 1900-2000fps at that max range, select a clambering and barrel length that will get you there.
