[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 3068744, member: 92702"] Now, having said all I have, please consider one more thing. The big guns we have been telling you need(and you do) to pull off a 1000 yd bull are incredibly intimidating to shoot in a hunting weight rifle. Recoil and blast will teach you to flinch in a hurry. You have to work up to them and they are not and will never be fun to shoot. Barrel life is so short you will not just buy one and shoot long range without a golf bag full of barrels. Most guides will not let you shoot a bull that far anyway no matter how you beg. You would be so much better off easing into all this. Buy a med cap 7(70grs) with an 8 twist and learn to shoot it. Learn to load a Magnum for long range and go have some fun with it. If will kill an elk as far as any guide will let you shoot at it. Work on deer at home ar far as your ability will let you. You will soon learn its not as far as you would like and that gives you something to work on and practice for. [/QUOTE]
