[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 233458, member: 8843"] What are you shooting at at 1000yds? for critters up to deer my vote goes to the 7-08 Ackley improved , you can use 308 Lapua brass which is very high quality and last a long time ,easy to find and cheap. 200 pieces would probably last the life of the barrel if you diden't get nuts with the pressure. The 7-08 will have better barrel life less recoil than the 284 or 7mmWSM though you will give up some speed to the other two , maybe 200-250fps to the 284. With a 168gr Berger at 2800fps you will have plenty energy to kill deer at 1000yds , and if you run a longer barrel say 28-30" you could possibley get 2800fps with the 180gr Berger [/QUOTE]
