Back when I used to do such things for a living.... I used 7.62 Nato...and all the ammo Uncle Sam cared to give me...

223 Remington with 69-80 grain bullets is very fun out to 1000 yards and a wee bit further.
243 Winchester is an excellent choice out to 1000 easily with 95-107 grain bullets.
6.5 Creedmoor makes 1000 yards look easy.
308 Winchester adds a degree of chance/difficulty beyond about 800 yards or so.

I guess I have too many favorites!

Heck, I'd try it with a 22lr for giggles!

I've not shot out to 1000 yds but have a 300 Win Mag if I wanted to.

Who you think I am, Bob Mundan???

 

[Kruel J]

6.5 CM.

 

[Medic!]

Man..... I can't hit nuthin 100 yards away.

7mm Remington Magnum. Long, skinny bullets with a bunch O'powder to push em. Granted, I've only pushed out to 700 or so and it's also the only caliber I have bigger than .223 that can do it, so..... Heck maybe my 30-30 if launched like a mortar? Just sitting waiting for someone to claim they have a .50 as happens from time to time

[Ura-Ki]

6.5 Swede, from a C.G. 63/80, doing it with class for 122+ years!
.308/ 7.62X51 from a M-21 clone, an M-24 clone or a FAL USMC Trials rifle clone, or the PSG-1 clone ( because we cant have the real things, our gov said so)
.30/06 from the Garand, cause it's too cool for school and gives fits to all the kiddies and their new fancy fangled calibers!
.300 Win Mag from a M-40X or M-70 or the TRG -42
.338 L.M. from the A.I. to more then double the grand!
.50 BMG from the COBB Systems rifle, cause .50 'Murica!

.308
6.5 CM
300 PRC

pretty cool seeing the bullet splash a second or so before you hear the hit.

 

[therealhitman]

.257 Roberts AI does it all well for me. .270 Win with 130gr MK is a close second from my safe and if needed the 300 Win Mag has all the extra gas I can imagine needing. My .243 with the 95gr TMK is maybe the best out to 300yds for grouping but windage wanders beyond that.

Those that have a 300 weatherby love them. Can they shoot out that far?

I can hit a gong at 800. Lol!!

where I make my money is hitting something when it needs to happen fast. 300-500 while there moving.
like hunting. Some weird ability.

but 1,000 plus I would need some practice.

 

[gmerkt]

I'm gonna have to wait until the enemy gets closer in. A lot closer.

I think it stands for:
Short Action Ultra Magnum
A fat little cartridge similar to a RUM.
