[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1336415, member: 97050"] limits you to 30'06 really. Other options to explore would be the 280 rem, the 6.5 creed is capable with a full 24 in barrel, the right ammo, and is in the barrel life usually of 2500-3k. Of course there are a bunch of other 6.5's that will work as well, but they are all overbore carts. 7mm mag, and 300 win mag are excellent ideas for specific for long range, 7mm being a little less on the recoil and a little harder on the barrel life. There is the 28 nosler, and the 30 nosler if you are looking for magnum speeds but not actually have a belted magnum cartridge. Some like the 270, and the 7mm08 but i can assure you they WONT be great for anything around a mile...i wont say it cant be done...you can shoot at a target at a mile with a .223 all day...you might hit it. So to summarize, my list is of suggestions are: (in not any relevant order) 6.5 creed 280 remington 28 nos-[B]barrel burner[/B] 7mm mag-[B]barrel burner[/B] 30'06 30 nos 300 win mag and just some variations of .30 cal carts. 300 rum, .308 norma, 300 weatherby and the 338 ultra...just to give some variety.
