[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2432893, member: 118038"] He needs a .338 LM or something bigger that is capable of shooting bullets that are 250 to 300 gr and bigger that have a very high ballistic coefficient. Heavy bullets with high ballistic coefficients are inherently going to act better out past 1000 yards to a mile or more because of wind influence on smaller low BC bullets. Get him a heavy rifle weighing at least 15 to 20 lbs. with a very good muzzle brake to minimize recoil so he can shoot the right rifle calibers required and withstand it. Not saying it cant be done with 300 WM but just trying to make it easier by design. [/QUOTE]
