[QUOTE="canderson, post: 288205, member: 10891"] I have two 204 rifles. One shoots 40gr. the other shoots 50 gr. bergers. I think that the 40 gr. are reasonably accurate (under 10 mph cross wind) to 300-350 yds. The 50's will probably give you another 50-100 yds. Reasonably accurate is 3/4 moa or better. I shot my AR with the fifties in a 600 yd F class match. The results were decent, I shot 156/200. It was pretty windy that day. I have seen 6br's and 6 dasher shot @ 600 and 1000 yds. They are very impressive. You will have to decide how critical the time restraint of ranging a target and shooting versus estimating the range and shooting a flatter projectile. If barrel life is not important, I think a 115 gr. 6mm @ 3100+ fps will be very hard to beat. 243, 243ai, or 6x47L are good candidates. Barrel life will probably be about 1000 rounds. The 6mm br or dasher will get 2500-3000 rounds from what I understand, if not more. If you want a real laser like trajectory, you might consider a 6-06. In any of the 6mm, you will probably be best suited with a 28+" barrel. The 6mm will hold up the best at extended ranges (600-1000). Anyway, my two cents worth of opinion.
