    Best advice find someone with some practical experience of shooting long range for years. Not targets but dead deer. Someone who reloads and knows about ballistic coefficients and down range ft/lbs of energy . IMHO its the ft/lbs of energy that ultimately kill at range .
    Last piece of advice - " There is no replacement for displacement!" i.e Go large or go home. Forget these pussy prc's and creedmores and all this fandangle shit. Get a big magnum. I started with a 300 wsm then went to a 7mmrum .
    Burn the powder!! Get some ear plugs and learn to shoot with a percussion producing muzzle brake.
