Hey NoSoup! Sorry I didn't get back to your question but looks the other fellas hit in right on the money. The .223 performs great at long distance. Any small caliber is a challenge out past 3-400 yards because of wind, etc. but it's doable for sure. If you're thinking as far as 600 you might want to consider moving up into the .300s, but it probably won't be necessary. Plus if you're looking just to target than you like a challenge anyway.
Jaegyr made a good point about the ammo. .223 comes fairly cheap and you can pick it up in bulk which is very nice. I know Cabella's has it in bulk, but I am sure any good sporting goods store can get it.

Let us know what you decide!
