But strictly just a straight out best for 500 yrd or m 30 PRC and 6mm BR, 6.5 C / 47 and the 7mm SAUM all have a place on the top shelf.

It is one thing to say you can shoot a one inch group at 500 but another thing to deliver the goods. If you can do one inch or better at a Fly Shoot they recognise it with a screamer patch. I have not come close.
What bench shooters cannot hit a gong at 50 metres, I don't understand what you are saying there. Was it pitch black?
I have used a 243 at 500 and it is very capable. Check the link out for a 243 that can deliver the goods.
