[QUOTE="Dgd6mm, post: 1072227, member: 12044"] Well Ghost, when I first started shooting 1000 yard+ ranges I was like many others and believed you needed a big magnum. Started with a .300 RUM, went to the .300 Lapua which was built for 1000 yard minimum. I set 2 club records with the Lapua, then got a wild hair. I started learning about a cartridge ( 6MM Competition Match ). I had Dave Bruno chamber my first 6CM, which is not to get confused with the 6Creedmoor. I screwed it on to a Savage model 12 stainless steel single shot. Broke the 7.5 twist Krieger barrel in. Took it to 1000 yards, first match ff brass and finished 3rd. The following month went back and won tying my 2club records I set with the Lapua. I shoot 115 DTAC's. I have 3- 6CM's, I'd have to say this is my favorite cartridge for 1000. [/QUOTE]
