But I do have to respond to the question with the best of my ability and knowledge. Whether long range is 200 or 1000 yards is really not the issue. The issue is what I would choose to shoot the longest shot.

That makes it much much easier for me to answer. I would choose either a .257 Weatherby Magnum or a .264 Winchester Magnum or 7mm Remington (or Wby) Magnum or .300 Winchester Magnum or anything else feeling it is most important for the person who owns the rifle to believe in the cartridge and not the other way around.

In other words, if the cartridge is the one and you find yourself in love with it then there is no need to argue or say a word. Go to bed with your choice and live happy.
