This.
What range?
Hell, a .308 will be as "accurate" as anything else out to about 500-600 yards with exponentially better throat life. Drop/drift are pretty much irrelevant inside that range unless you're shooting in a hurricane.

Thanks for the replies. I am shooting 300 yds but come spring i am joining a club that has 1,000 yds. You are correct about the 308. I have one and three other calibers but this will be my last one. I use a savage action so i figured this would be the best site to ask. Thanks again.

I've read guys reaching 1200+ using the 200gr SMK and the new 230gr ATIP with .308. Have not personally tried yet but the guys posting the results are pretty credible in the circle they are in so I have no reason to doubt them

There are records somewhere on the internet that list the scores of F class match's. See what is winning match's in your area

Many chamberings are suitable for 1K yards.
Down here, 6 Dasher is popular.
6.5 Creedmoor is fine at that range.
I'm about to build a .284 for the same purpose.

Like magnums? 7 mag, .300 WM, and the new .300 PRC which'll give you what the magnum does without the belt.

My best advice is talk to the guys at your club.
Factors such as prevalent winds/direction, and other factors related specifically to the locale are important in making a choice- as well as the obvious ones related to handloading vs factory ammo availability.

I have a dasher in the safe i put there a couple of years ago. Maybe i should get it back out. Again thanks for the replies. I will take your advice.
