It's not clear what you are asking, or what the choices in the poll represent. Are you asking readers to select which shot(s) they think were the most difficult?
 
I don't take these kinds of shots often, but generally speaking they would all be fairly difficult with the caliber/bullet combos.

Even prone with a flat range and light winds, 1250 yards with a 308/175SMK & a 10 power optic is not easy lol.


I'd be looking to change the bullet weights if class/match rules would allow; that includes both the 308 & 300 win options. 175s and 190s are bullets of a bygone era, despite how well they shoot. 185s-215s are where I'd be looking, and even then those shots wouldn't be easy.

I've played around with one of my F-T/R rifles at a 2000 yard range before (one where you're shooting over a massive canyon, in relatively high winds). That same rifle will shoot pretty freaking well on a 1000 yard highpower range, but was shooting like 4-5 foot groups at 1300y when you couldn't read the wind except from the firing point and target.

Thanks for info and bullet weight suggestion. Appreciate it!
