I would like to see what everyone thinks shoots the tightest groups at 1000 yards between say 243 to 308 and also is a good deer rifle caliber.
I love threads like this (LOL) a 1,000 yard deer rifle (LOL), didn't he mean a 1,000 yard dear rifle, when he tries to explain how he spent $5,000 to his wife on a rifle and scope to go deer hunting with (LOL).
But what the heck, I would suggest a 50 BMG for that range, that way he could blow the animal's head off and not damage any of the meat. (LOL)
Me, I like the 243 for deer hunting, say 75 to 300 yards, longer I would probably use my 270 for the shot, but I doubt that I will find a shot longer than 125 yards (my eyes are not that good) too many trees from the forest, for a 1,000 yards I would need the Palomar Telescope (LOL) just to see the animal. (LOL)
But for those 1,000 yard shots, just do what the snipers do use the 338 Lapua Magnum (8.6×70mm or 8.58×70mm) it's only $5.00 per round. (LOL)
