[QUOTE="sdiehn, post: 36624, member: 3005"] OH boy I am going to get drageed threw the mud on this one.I shoot long range 600-1000 yards atleast once a month for two days usely about 200 rounds I know how wind affects bullets how heat mirage and other factors play on shooting.All my guns are customs I built and all will shoot sub .5 MOA Their are realy good hunting bullets out there but I dont think that they are as good as the high end match bullets.I dont belive in the 700 yards shots on deer sized game or larger. Now that being said I would not use a 30 cal.If I were to try this I would put something together with a heavey barrel and a long action. i would push the cal. up to at the least .338 cartrige would be 340 Weatherby mag or a 338 based on the 300 win mag not the 338 case.
