Default RE: 308 or 338

ORIGINAL: 270 win.

I am wanting to buy a good 1000 yrd gun for varmints and maybe some big game. What I am wanting to know is which caliber would be better and i am going to put a leupold tactical scope. Or maybe a 325 WSM.

Why 1000 yards? I would not advise taking big game at a 1000 yards, even if you can gurantee a accurate shot. That is a disaster waiting to happen. For target use, I use both my .308 Win. and my .338 Lapua for long shot target competitions for target up to 1500 yards, but I would never take any animal at this range.
