[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1284483, member: 54178"] If you get a long range rifle that is NOT a .338 Lapua Mag. I recommend a 6.5 Creedmoor. The 6.5 CM uses a .308 magazine but has far superior ballistics to a .308 Win. I have a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM and it is good to 1,200 yards with great accuracy and definitely less wind deflection than a .308 Win. But if you want a good magnum without the eye-watering cost of the .338 LM ammo I suggest a .300 Win mag using 230 gr. Berger Hybrid bullets. That bullet stays supersonic long after other .30 caliber bullets have gone subsonic. That bullet and my 40 gr. match 6.5 CM bullets have almost identical trajectories. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
