[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2374506, member: 42157"] I dont know your limitations or requirements for ballistic performance at your max range 1000yds so I wont suggest a cartridge for you. Mine are a factory rifle (no a $1500-3000 rifle I can buy very similar one for half that) is not what I call a factory rifle. My minimum on target bullet velocity is 17-1800fps in a heavier for caliber "real hunting" bullet. My last two 284 long range cartridges (7STW, 28N) are the same basic cartridge and I would have stayed with the STW if I could have gotten one in a sporter weight. My loads push a STW 175ABLR @ 3250 from a 26", and the 28N a 160AB at 3350 from a 24". I am about 90 percent sure I need to back the 28N down to 3300 to extend brass life. [/QUOTE]
