[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 498601, member: 505"] First, if your looking to shoot 1600+ yards you need to start reloading. Second I would look at a custom chambering with quite a bit more velocity than the ones you mentioned. The 338-378 wby would be where I would start and then go up from there. The Wby accumark 338-378 would be the best off the shelf for 1600 yards because of the extra 200 fps over the others you listed. I would do a Lapua improved on the low end or go up to the big Excalibur or something similar in a custom. You can hit 3200+ fps with a long barrel and some of the big 338's. That is what you want to shoot 1600+ yards. The ones you listed are not what I consider the big 338's except for the 338-378 wby. [/QUOTE]
