[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1073560, member: 22069"] As mentioned, to get a 22-250 to 1000+ yards, you will need an aftermarket barrel with a 7 twist. I really enjoy shooting my 12 twist 22-250, but consider 600 yards to be about the practical limit with the bullets it is capable of utilizing. If going with a 700 SPS, go with a .308 and put it in an aftermarket stock with an aluminum bedding block. Sierra Palma 155's (or the new Tipped Matchkings) or 175 SMK/TMK's, run as fast as you can push them, will get you there. A factory rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor will most certainly get you to 1000. The .243/6mm's will do it, too. But, they really need an 8 twist to get there. Most factory rifles, that I am aware of, use a 9 twist or slower. As with the 22-250, an aftermarket barrel would be required to get the job done. [/QUOTE]
