.338. Its a bigger boon over .308 than Creedmeme is, but its not fuckhuge like the real gimmick rounds such as Norma or .416 Barrett.
Adrian Carter
270WSM
Jason White
.50 bmg

One that you can accurately hit at said distance with the intended effect.
That's all that matters.

define long range, that's what matters. Are we talking .5km, 1km, 3km? There's loads of great precision calibers but not all of them have the gusto to stay supersonic out past 1000 yards. That'll determine whether you're looking for .308 win, .300 WM, or .338 LM.
Next, what are you aiming at? 6.5 CM can take you pretty far, but 300 can go as far and hit harder.
tl;dr has it right.

300 Norma Magnum !
Parker Cox
You know they walked it onto target, right? That shot had more in common with firing a mortar than a precision rifle.

Didn't socom just adopt .300 Norma. In fact I think they ordered a bunch of barrets chambered in it.

As he said OP, maybe want to add what you can aford to shot reguarly and train with.
If you have the place to shot what ever you want and can aford everything aswell the only question is how much you are willing to carry.
Some people find out the hard way that a .375 Chey in an heavy rifle might not be the best caliber for them.
Recommendation: Go and compete in Competions and learn what caliber suits you and your needs.
.308 --> .338 depending on enviroment and needs

300 NM = 338LM with a lil less powder but a lbs lighter.
But its way better than a 300WinMag
