[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 23389, member: 8947"] Tim, You may want to visit some of the 1000yd BR clubs (results and equipment are posted on their websites) and see what shooters are using. If you think the .244 Ackley is too small, remember that 1000yd events have been won with a 6BR. All you need is 2800 to 3000fps with a 105gr type bullet in a well built gun. The ballistics of larger calibres come at the cost of much higher recoil and barrel wear. You gunsmith may want to do some research into 30cal twist rates because a 1 in 10 twist will stabilize bullets as heavy as 220gr MK, possibly 240gr MK. The big case 1000yd cartridges are still used in heavy classes. Smaller calibres are used in the lighter weight classes. Review the results and the different specs. This will help you choose something that will work for your application. With the new generation of VLD bullets, bigger is not necessarily better for target shooting. If this is for long range hunting, then magnum 30cals come into their own. Good luck... Jerry [/QUOTE]
