[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 658583, member: 29890"] The chrony is merely a tool for consistancy, we are shooting not drag racing. Fact is though the faster you can move a bullet and maintain consistency the better it will group. At 600yrds you should be checking your vertical spread, if one is way low and another way high its back to the drawing board. The rep at sierra probably neglected to mention that the 155 smk palma was designed for 29-32" 13 twist barrels to try to get velocity past 3k fps, you my friend are over stablizing this bullet in your 10 twist. The 155 palma has about the same bc as the 180 above 2750fps after that it fades quick where the 180 will hold its own, look on sierras website and compare the 2 as velocity drops. I'm not giving you a hard time about the 308 it is capable, if you can master it enough to get a 5 shot group under 18" at 1k then you could probably do exceptional with a cartridge more suited for that distance.
