Hmm, looking through Nosler 6 I finally picked up this past week. I see the top 7 Rem Mag load with a 160gr Accubond at 3077 using 72 grains of Magpro. 280AI tops out at 3045 using 59.5 grains of Viht N560.

12.5 more grains of powder to gain 32 fps. Impressive!!


Seriously though, I'm curious, what makes a 1000 yd round? 7RM, 280AI, 6.5-284, WSM's... all are damn near ballistic twins.

So are the 300WM, RUMS', Weatherby Mags, 338 Lapua and 50 BM the only 1000 yard rounds?
