Minihuntur,
When looking for a good long range round speed is not the only thing I look at. The biggest thing is the BC of the bullet and while you can get very high speeds with with the round and bullets you named the BC`s of the bullets you chose really stink. That means they not only loose their velosity very fast, but that they will also drift more in the wind. My latest long range rifle is a .22-6mm. With it I`m pushing an 80 gn. .22 cal. bullet at abt 3,470 fps. No where near the 4,000 fps., but with it`s high BC it will shoot alot flatter than a .243 with a 55 gn. bullet, will drift alot less, and hit alot harder when it gets there. I built it for a long range coyote rifle. So far I`ve only taken 1 with it and it was only 350 yrds, but if the wind is calm, and I can get the coyote to stand still long enough to get off a shot, ( big if`s) I should have no trouble killing them to 800 yrds. , yes I use a lazer because without one there is no gun that will shoot flat enough to be good at that range guessing yardage.
