[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1133101, member: 48559"] 308 at 1000 yards is not my ideal choice. I have two long action savage/stevens home builts in 280 Ackley, one running 168 bergers and am currently working up a 180 grain load in the newly assembled twin. I like the combination of 7mm high BC bullets and lower recoil than the bigger 30 cals. If you want to stay with 30 cal you should select a cartridge that will push the heaviest high BC bullets fast enough to keep the wind drift moderate and the energy high at your desired impact distance. 30-06 Ackley or 300 win mag would be my starting place, but if I'm gonna deal with that level of recoil I would probably go on to a 338 whiz-bang for even better trajectory. Those 33 cal bullets have awesome BCs. [/QUOTE]
