[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 826949, member: 7123"] If you DO go with a .300 maggie, I'd go with the original and best: .300 Winchester Magnum. But, do you realize that a 6.5 round such as the 6.5-.284 Norma has less wind drift and drop with 139s at 600 and 1,000 yards than the hottest .300 maggie, with any bullet you can think of, whether 175, 210, 220, or 240 SMKs, 210 Berger VLDs, or anything? Not to mention a lot less recoil and ammo expense. Unless you're trying to kill vehicle engines at that distance, there is no reason to go past a 6.5mm (or 7.0mm at most), UNLESS you go all the way to .50 BMG, where you get the .900-1.0 BCs.** **Or, unless you run with a .375-.400 Cheytac with hand-milled bullets from Europe at several dollars each just for the bullets.
