[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 974714, member: 63748"] Non-magnum "name", 1500 yards (meters), 280 AI with 30" bbl comes to mind. There are others. BC and velocity are your friend especially for those long shots. That's where "magnums" come to play. That being a case capacity large enough to drive those heavy BC bullets at significantly higher velocities than standard based cartridges. With performance there usually comes other costs as you mentioned. For target and varmint I would believe a person has more flexibility with build to including a longer stiffer barrel. Personally for 1500+ I'd lean toward a magnum. [/QUOTE]
