what is the intended use?

I'm sure @punkur67 can lead you in the right direction. I would imagine something like the gun I built in a different caliber will get it done. I know folks are shooting 1600 yards with 6.5 CM, but I think that it's a stretch for that cartridge.

Do you plan to reload or use factory ammo?

You can definitely hit than distance with a smaller round. Many people (including myself) make the mistake of getting a big ass magnum but really don't need it. And a big magnum will create bad habits unless you learn proper fundamentals with a lighter recoiling round. When I go shoot a mile or farther I use my 300wm with hand loads.

Also look at the 300 norma, it is quickly becoming a favorite ELR round.

If you want to chat on the phone @Mac send me a PM and I can talk you through some options

I have a single shot rifles that shoots this stuff.

SUPER accurate!

Those are super fun but they are really only effective to about 200 yards. They loose speed fast and get bucked around bad

All true.

I have a Nemo 300 WM but my favorite is my 6.5 pretty accurate out to 1000 yards

 

[rivermobster]

I have one of those I had custom built years ago. Definitely not hitting 1500 yards with it..

Nope. But it's super accurate, and super fun! Ammo is cheap as well.

I have been in the process of spec'ing out a 7PRC build with a model 700 gunwerks or Zermatt action, on an AG composite carbon stock /w 22" carbon six barrel /w suppressor. Ill figure out optics after i get the bun assembled. I am not a hunter but could use this if I needed to, the ballistics and trajectory on a 7prc out to 1000 yards is a sweet spot I think.

Too many new rounds these days. 300 wm is tried and true 338 is newer but proven

The 6.5cm is good too but ones I seen are the 6.5 prc and 7prc. Both impressive calibers but will need to get reloading which you should be doing for long range precision anyways.

FWIW, carbon fiber barrels are only useful to lighten a rifle. The cons really out weight the pros. They make the rifle balance like shit, mirage off the barrel is terrible once you get 8-10 rounds off, and they cost way more. I had one CF barrel and sold it. I bolted all the weight I could get on the chassis and it was still ass heavy.
