It would be pretty tuff to make 1000 yds with a .260cal. Also u got to adjust for distance droppage and windage.

1000 yd bench shooters i know prefer 6.5 caliber so i think that at least try it what the hell if it aint good for 1000 yd use it for deer hunting

go to www.rifleshootermag.com and look for the article A Pedigreed 6.5 by J. Scott Rupp this might be a better idea for that 700 action the article is in the september/october issue of rifle shooter magazine
