hey /k/ i have asked this befor but i belive i worded it poorly i need a calibre for 1000 yard shooting but that will also be good for "running deer" the range i shoot at has a moving deer target at around 100 yards you shout pull it runs out from behind some wood and you shoot but it also has another setting where it stops poking out from the wood and you shoot it once then it runs and you shoot it again so i need a calibre that can do both shoot at 1000 yards and have low recoil so i can get quick follow up shots on the deer target most people use .223/5.56 for the deer and another gun for long distance but i want one gun for both 1000yards and running deer
6.5 grendel could work.

Who taught you how to hunt? Deer driving is done on foot, not with shooting. Hell my wife drives deer and she doesn't even hunt.
You just go in the woods and walk towards the hunter, you kick em up and they go towards the hunter. Plus what are you shooting at 1000 yards?
.308 with a muzzle brake

That's what I'd use

270 Winchester for the win. 308 is too slow.

Running deer Target at 1000 yards?
Spin drift= 1.25(Sg + 1.2)tof ^ 1.83
.308 Sierra MatchKing HPBT 175 gr. 2600 fps., barrel length of 26” and a 1:12 twist rate). The spin drift is as follows:1000 yards Spindrift =11.57
Compensate for Coriolis Effect from "example" a latitude of 45° in the Northern Hemisphere, the deflection at 1000yds will be of 3in to right
Keep in mind that your bullet will enter the trans-sonic range somewhere past 700 yards
Bullet time of flight will be around 1.41seconds
You still need to calculate your drop coefficient and windage calculations
Good luck
