Hello Everyone,
My background includes lots of handgun and shotgun time, but my rifle experience is pretty much limited to the AR-15 and a few other military autoloaders.
I am doing some research into unusual rifle calibers for a custom long range (e.g., 500 to 1000 yards) bolt action sniper rifle. What I am interested in is opinions on unusual calibers that are superior choices for long range rifle work.
Let's have a little opinion exchange.
I've already done my research on the usual suspects (.308 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum, etc.) and would like some unusual but exceptional choices to research as well.
Any other opinions on actions, stocks, scopes, etc. are also welcome.
Incidently, this thread was inspired by an article by Chuck Taylor regarding a sniper rifle Ted Yost made for him in .280 Ackley.
Thanks for your opinions and time.
