[QUOTE="demarpaint, post: 187021, member: 655"] My #1 choice would be the .338 Lapua for out to 1500 yards, the Brits and Canadians have proved it works very well. Remington will be making rifles chambered for it, and I think its the real winner here. Not as effective at 1500 yards as the .338 Lapua but certainly good to way past 1K would be a 7WSM or 300 WSM. A little less costly than a .338 Lapua would be a nice 10 twist 300 RUM firing something on the order of a 240 SMK, that would also be quite effective. Not a favorite of mine but a 338 RUM is no slouch either. Although some of the Wildcats mentioned would be very good as well, I don't think Uncle Sam would even consider them. JMO Frank D [/QUOTE]
