[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3102845, member: 27307"] It's going to depend on what you want to accomplish at that 1,000 yard distance? Paper punching is simple. Nearly any cartridge capable of achieving consistency and accuracy will suffice. Killing is another matter all together. This is a far piece to put an animal down. Slight wind changes and small animal movements. I am finishing up a .25-6mm GT in a 16" handgun for hunting. Testing the 163 and the 133, 135 will start shortly. The numbers I have for initial development get me to 750 yards with just a tad over 1,000 ft/lbs. 0 degrees at sea level. I get a little boost from being at 4 - 6,000 feet. ;) Good enough for a handgun... Jumping from there up to something such as the .25-06 or AI and the .257 Weatherby in a rifle simply adds to the energy and velocity for some better numbers. Enjoy! 😊 [/QUOTE]
