[QUOTE="StoneCold, post: 177422, member: 6113"] This may seem like an odd question, but here goes. Let's say you want to shoot deer/elk out to a max of 700 yards. Rifle can be whatever you want. (Feel free to make suggestions). Which caliber / ammo would you use if you didn't want to reload?? I ask because I have been chronoing many loads for a few years now. The only factory ammo that meets its velocity claims are Weatherby. Sometimes the High energy / light magnum will and the new WSM's are close, but weatherby pretty much always does. If a guy was starting out and had limited time which route would you go?? I know it has been said Long Range and factory ammo don't go together. But, If you used only factory what would you use and how far would you shoot to?? What platform would you shoot it from?? StoneCold PS: I have been shooting for quite a while. I do reload for my long range stuff. I have friends that might like to do it, but it seems pretty daunting to have to get gear, and reloading stuff, and learn how to use it all. (I don't have time to load for them too! I know it would be cheaper to load their own too....) [/QUOTE]
