Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum and new to the sniper/marksman/long range shooting world. I'm looking for advice on caliber selection for targets at ranges out to 1200+ meters. I'm not talking about just being able to hit paper at distance. I'm in law enforcement and will hopefully be getting on a tactical team as a sniper/observer. I'm looking forward to putting in the time and effort into learning the trade, but don't want to waste a lot of money in buying and shooting something that can't effectively and consistently get the job done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The calibers I'm considering are:
.308
30-06
7mm mag
300 win mag
also thinking about .260 but not sure.
