[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 70652, member: 799"] As "heetseekins" recommends, go to 6mmbr.com and benchrest.com and snoop around. These sites are visited by world class shooters and world record holders in longrange benchrest. 6BR, 6PPC, 6 Dasher, the list goes on and on. I personally shoot a .244 Ackley which is an "improved" 6mm Rem. It will push 105-107s over 3100fps and reach out to 1K easily. The 6.5-284, 6.5-06, and all the wildcats may be something to look at too, but where do you draw the line? Some will say a 7mm something will shoot farther, flatter. Then another will recommend a big 30 is the way to go, or the .338 has a better BC in the heavies. Why not .50 cal. or better yet 20mm? All bullets are blown around in the wind the bigger ones less, but that doesn't mean the guy next to you shooting a .338 blaster will score any higher in windy conditions.
