[QUOTE="P-17, post: 28797, member: 1590"] Your request is do-able. The key is going to be selecting a top barrel. For a job like this, you need to get a barrel in the league of Krieger (aka "Rolls Royce"), Pac-Nor, Shilen, Lilja, etc. Nothing less than the best barrel made by the top-name competition builders will qualify. Next, you'll need to have it chambered properly with, ideally, a match reamer, and screwed into a "blueprinted" action. These are standard "bread-and-butter" operations for any gunsmith used to working on target rifles. For your info, International Palma shooters must take 155-grain .308s out to 1000 yards, and Krieger barrels are the King of the Hill. The recommendation of 175-grain Sierra Matchking or 178 Hornady A-Max is excellent, unless you want to shoot Palma, which requires a 155-grain bullet. For this job, the best powders are probably either Varget, Reloder 15 or Vihtavuori N550. Finally, choose decent brass (Lapua being the ideal, but Winchester Palma brass is also excellent and cheaper) and use a match primer. The rest is just practice.
