I was looking at factory load outs from Federal and velocity combined with BC (Extrapolated from Hornady), the best combo I found was .270 in 130gr .460 BC at 3060 FPS. And .270 is an easy round to acquire.
I can get 110gr @ 3400 fps or 150gr @ 2800 FPS and all retain 2000 FPS out to 500yrds (1900-2100 FPS)
I once had a rifle chambered in .264 Winchester Magnum. According to the ammo makers, this cal will go in excess of 3,000fps with 140 gr bullets. I don't know what the BC of these are but I do know that you can hand load them a little faster than factory specs. I also know that by the time you have worked up a load and sighted the rifle in, the barrel will probably be burnt out.
I bought mine years ago from someone that said it had less than a box of shells through it and it looked new. Wow, it shot a 36" group at 100 yards! I rebarreled the rifle to .300 win mag.
Shooting these slow powders to achieve super velocities with heavy bullets out of long barrels tends to be hard on the barrels.
go this route for starters, or get a rifle chambered in .243 AI, i think you can fire standard ammo in it, then it will be fireformed.
The 270 is a great LR round, but you can do better in terms of high bc bullets, and lower recoil. if you don't mind the recoil (of around a .270), a round that fires higher bc bullets can be found.
