[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1250387, member: 4566"] Your whole choice comes down to 1 question. Nothing else will matter. What is the caliber with good factory ammo choices? Not just 1 or 2 loads that may not work. You need a cartridge with dozens of different loads available to be safe. The 300 WM is well represented but not a 7mm. Lots of 6.5s have good LR loads 7mms are a little less represented in factory loads. The 7 RM will probably be SAFEST if not sexy. To get to 1k you need to be over 160 in weight and IMHO the heavier the better. I'm not the right guy to pick a factory load as I haven't shot one since 75 or so except for the 6.5 and 300. [/QUOTE]
