[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 488437, member: 5302"] I didn't make the 1992 Palma team, cause I shot two crossfires (dropped 20 points in the tryout aggregate, way too many), but I did shoot that ammo the year before when it was first used in a big Palma competition. Had the high aggregate score over 5 days of matches at 600 through 1000 yards; first time that new bullet was used. No, didn't toss any with runout over 3 thousandths. Wasn't able to spin the ammo 'cause it was issued to us on the line when the match started each day. I did buy a carton of 500 rounds afterwards then measured a bunch of them for runout. I did shoot some of the bullets we got from Sierra for that ammo the next year. Here's what 20 of 'em did testing prone with the Paramount actioned rifle on sandbags at the stock's fore end and toe. Full length sized cases in a gelded die (no ball) with runout maxing about .002." Weaver T20 scope used for accuracy testing. Note shots 1 and 2 were the lowest in the group. Fired two sighters to get a zero then these 20 about 25 to 30 seconds apart. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3614/3394146444_2d5f4c3e52_m.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
