I am new to the long range shooting, and am interested in taking the skills learned into hunting at long range. I currently own two Weatherby's .257 and 30-378. The .257 is a Vangaurd and seems good out to 500yrds, repeatable.
The 30-378 is a AccuMark and is a new purchase, I need help with optics and if this is a decent rifle to shoot 1,000 - 1,500 yrds.
If this is not a rifle recomended for these ranges and then for hunting, what would be the cross-over (target/hunting) rifle and cartridge of choice 338 Lapua perhaps, I seem to hear or read a lot about this cartridge??
Thanks
