[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1008367, member: 52437"] Another thing to consider is optics...shooting to 1k you will need good optics, especially if your long term goal is to hunt out to 1k. Having a scope that reliably adjusts moa or mils and is clear to see targets in different lighting conditions is very costly. You can plan on spending 1000$ if not more. Just my two cents. As far as your rifle is concerned...you will need to find a load shooting 1MOA or better. Testing this at only 100 yards will give you a clue but not the whole story. Many rifles will shoot 1 MOA at 100 and 200 but then further it might increase...or it actually might get better due to bullet stabilization. Your best bet is try to find a load that shoots well at 100 and then start stretching it out to 300, 400, 500 etc. [/QUOTE]
