The 308 Win, 6,5x284 and 300 Win Mag are well qualified for 1K. As one old guy says, "there are lots of 1K yard rifles, but few 1k yard shooters".

Can you read the wind at 200, 600 and 900 yard intervals? It takes practice, lots of practice. Did I mention it takes practice.

Hunting at those ranges requires even more study and PRACTICE. Do you want the rsponsibility of wounding an animal and not being able to recover it? Thats why we see 3 legged deer or deer with a broadhead wound through the extreme lower chest wandering around.

Theres a little bit of Quigley in each of us, but remember "This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Hickcock."

Best wishes, Bill
