    I think the general consensus may be that you are trying to run before you can walk!
    1600m is a LONG way to hit a target, let alone to be trying to humanely dispatch an animal.
    In your post you give the impression that you aren't yet very familiar with firearms, calibers, ballistics, reloading, reading wind, or any of the other basic skills required to shoot at long range?!
    What rifles do you own at present?
    How far have you shot them to already?
    What is your current level of experience?
    Perhaps answer some of these questions to give people a better understanding of where you are currently at and people may be able to offer some useful guidance.
