[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 746907, member: 25383"] Just reread a couple chapters in Boyd Mace's book on varmit hunting last night. He was a little different, but still similar. He flat says the best 6mm round for very long distance was the 6mm Ackley hands down. The 6/284 was also right up there, but he felt it wasn't as good as the Ackley. Interestingly he developed a wildcat off the 6/284 that never got the velocity he was after, but grouped very well making it a top contender as well.I think that when you talking 1000 yards, you need to move upto the 6.5 catagory. In it you'll find lots of good rounds that will get the job done in fine form. The 6.5/284 and the 6.5-06 tend to lead the pack here. I think the .300WSM necked down to either 6.5 or 7mm would be even better, but not a round you'd also want to set over a dog town with gary [/QUOTE]
