I have read most of the post in the sticky's about whats the best caliber. But because of the nature of the post -- most of the material is in the various posts, its very difficult to determine a selection.
I am posting here asking for assistance since my goal is beyond 1000yards.
I would like a cartridge choice that will provide 1000 ft lbs of energy at 1750 yards. I would like a bullet with a decent Ballistic Coefficient, and a cartridge that give barrell life - say on average 2500 rounds or better.
I would like the least expensive of the possible cartridges that fit this category. I understand that this will likely result in handloading my cartridges. From some little research on the Ballistics calculators, it seems like a .308 will not make the cut.
If someone can give me some suggestions as starting points I would greatly appreciate it...
