[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 535171, member: 22335"] I agree with SBruce. I'd look hard at a 338 caliber variant if you really, really want to shoot at 1000 yards. Don't forget that 600+ is a whole different ballgame than under 600, so you'll need weather meter, ballistic calculator, etc. If you have to use factory loads, and you have to hit an elk at 1000, I'd think about a Weatherby in 30-378 or better yet 338-378. Factory ammo (though quite expensive) is available, and they come with an Accubrake. However, for the price of a few boxes of 338-378 factory ammo you could be reloading yourself. Else you'd have to find a well built 300 Win Mag with a brake, as the ammo is cheaper. 300 Wby would be there too, though ammo is more expensive - just not as expensive as the 30-378 or 338-378.
