[QUOTE="TangoOscarMike, post: 1766461, member: 111417"] Those .375 rounds are tough to beat. You can push those 379 grain projectiles up around 2990fps and at 200 yards they're still humming along at over 1300fps and still carry over 1500 pounds of energy. If I was wanting to shoot 2000 yards I think that is where I would look. Of course you have over 100 feet of elevation to deal with and God knows how much wind drift, but I think that a 375 something or other would be a better option than the 338 who see whats it. Give some serious thought to what kind of optics you want to use at 2000 yards. A lot of guys have these dreams of shooting 2000 yards and have never looked at something 2000 yards away through a scope. LOL. I know that the first time I took a gander at something a mile away I started laughing thinking that I couldn't even see it with the 14 power scope I had on my ol' trusty hunting '06 LOL. [/QUOTE]
