[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 450778, member: 12"] JE The 155s are longer and more dynamically stable. That is why they work and the 168 normally does not after you cross that 900 yard mark. The 155s have been the "go to" bullet for years in the Palma arena, no major competitor uses the 168 at 1k. That is why there have been three new 155s in the last few years just for the 1k Palma game. In fact, the 155 was the only allowed bullet in the international palma game. It helps that they are using 13 and 14 twist tight bore barrels that are 30-32" and they push the bullets to over 3000 fps. FTR guys are using the 10, 11 or 12 with heavy standard bore barrels and tend to use the heavier 185 or 190s for wind bucking capabilities although many are using similar palma type barrels and 155s also.
