[QUOTE="britz, post: 208933, member: 7865"] Not to knock the palma rounds, but it is a 300wsm. Your barrel has a finite amount of life anyway, so I wouldn't go P-Dog hunting with it anyway. The price of the bullet is a drop in a bucket when you consider the cost of rebarreling. 180 -190 is a much more efficient use of the cartidge in a 300 WSM. IMO, any smaller will short you on BC and any bigger will cost you in case capacity (in a short action). I will admit that I didn't run the trajectory, but I will guess that the Palma will perform very well out to about 4-500 yards, but when you get out a little farther the higher BC of heavier bullets will really shine.
