Just to start a new thread, and see what others opinions are, and I hope to learn something new.... What is your preferred caliber of ammo for a 1000+ meter shot?

What Caliber?

For .308 the Military LRM118 is pretty good for simply hitting the target. I'm pretty sure that is 175 Gr SMK projectile on top of the case.

Not a lot of experience with other ammo but lake City 308 Win 178 gr BTHP Match ammo is what I used in the 70's for 600 and 1000 yard matches with good success. Now I use Hornaday 308 Win 178 gr BTHP Superformance Match ammo. There could be better out there but I am shooting a M1 Garand in .308 and really have no desire to experiment and maybe mess something up.
