A guy at my gun club has a Howa Mini action in 6.5 Grendel which smacks gongs at 900m no worries and he loads it for cheap as chips too because he converts 7.62x39 brass to 6.5 which is a very very cheap way to do it

What does it cost to shoot a hundred of those things?

To the OP. When you say, 'long range on pests'..... What pests exactly and what would be long range? That might go some way to determining what cal and cart for yourself. Not that I know ****** about it but that is two questions I'd be answering for myself. We talking goats and such or donkeys and camels at long range???

If you can get to Mildura this Friday / Saturday you can try a 50BMG and a .416 Barrett or if you can definitely get there I'll pack the Weatherby so you can see if that'll work for you. If I could get more time I'd head over to Ceduna but unfortunately Mildura is the closest I can get to S.A this year.

OOW, I have a sheet of loads I tested in the Steyr that I'm happy to share with you if 300WinMag gets the nod so you'll have somewhere to start load development.

I'll only be limited to whatever I can humanly kill with a given retained energy.
I have access to all pests.
