Missiles
Missiles are a self-propelled guided weapon system. Missiles have four system components: targeting and/or guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank), surface-to-air (anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic), air-to-air, and anti-satellite missiles.

How much uranium tons does a nuclear missile have?
A nuclear missile does not have that much weight, maybe only a few hundred pounds with not all of that being Uranium.
The force or energy of the bomb's explosion is measured in kilotons or megatons of TNT explosive energy.
One critical mass of Uranium-235 is ~100 pounds, one critical mass of Plutonium-239 is ~10 pounds. This varies significantly with configuration and type of reflector used. Bombs also typically contain ~100 pounds to over 1000 pounds of Uranium-238 as Tamper(s) and in fusion bomb radiation channel walls to guide x-rays between stages.
I cannot give exact figures as there are so many different warhead designs and details like that are classified Top Secret-Q.

What is the best long range rifle?
This would be one of those questions with a thousand answers, because it has to do with many things. Do you want to hunt, target shoot, do you want heavy recoil, or a light nudge, do you want to reload, or buy factory ammunition. There are many rifles that are the best long range rifle for many different people. There's also the budget issue. The Varmint Hunter Association would have you in a heavy barrelled, 22-250 or something similar. The longest range kill of a person in combat was done with a $10,000 .50 caliber rifle made by the McMillan Brothers. Two very different rifles but well-suited for the task at hand.
