I would suggest 300 Win Mag. Ryan Cleckner carried one in service in the GWOT when he was sniper team leader in the 1st Ranger Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. His job was contacting an IPSC kind of target at various distances. He would dial elevation and hold left or right edge of target zone into the wind. Granted, most of his shots in service were less than 600 yards but it is a good place to start.

I primarily shoot 215's from my winmag and at 600 yards I haven't shot in wind yet that I've had to hold off of an IPSC size target.
I was just thinking, if I wanted to give myself every advantage I could in a situation like this, what would be the absolute best bullet for the job. I've been entertaining the idea of the Warner flatline 190's.
What case are are you using? Barrel twist?
Obvious answer is highest bc bullet that can be pushed fast enough to take advantage of it. A heavy for caliber bullet won't make much sense if the case doesn't have enough powder capacity to push it.
I was shooting norma brass. It's about at the end of ots life. Just picked a hundred pieces of Peterson long I need to fire form.
Barrel is a 9 twist Bart finished at 26"

Whatever shoots best in your rifle man. I'd probably try to stick with a Berger if I could get the accuracy out if it that I was looking for. That's just based on less BC variation from bullet to bullet. Probably 215, or 200.20x is what I'd try. And I'd chase ES and SD more than I would velocity.
Plenty of dudes have hit the plate with other bullets though, a lot of it is luck. A lot of times guys have hit the plate out of nowhere, or tagged the plate and then can't get near the half-minute one.
I'm pretty happy with the load at the moment. This morning was better than most. Sd is usually in the 5-7 range on longer strings. If I get single digit sd I'm happy. This morning was a few months ago.
Now I just need the guy to message me back. Don't want to do it, but I might have to join his patreon.
You should mention to him that you have an all Arken/Outlier build. That ought to get his shill blood flowing. Then show up with your rig and play like you forgot.
