[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 557092, member: 5302"] The best cartridge to use in long range is one that's very accurate, bucks the wind well and probably more important, one that doesn't have much recoil. All of which is why the 6.5-.284 has become popular....and wins most of the matches and sets the records. The older 30 caliber rounds (both rimless and belted) have too much recoil and don't buck the wind as well as the modern 6.5's these days. Cartridges with more recoil move the bore axis further off from where it should be before the bullet exits. Such is life with shoulder-fired rifles. The only difference between Palma and other long range prone matches (metallic and any sight divisions) is you have to learn your zeros at 800 and 900 yards as well as using only the .308 Win.. Conventional long range matches are shot at 600 and 1000 yards and one can use any safe rifle. [/QUOTE]
