[QUOTE="Guest, post: 20720"] Fergus, the Lapua 155 Scenars and Sierra 155 Match kings were originally intended for Palma competition, where the rules stipualte bullets will not exceed 155 grains (I believe the rules now specifically mandate use of the 155 Sierra, but I don't know for sure). This means to get the velocity and accuracy you want from the 155 you will need to duplicate what the commonwealth and Palma shooters do -- start with a 1-13 twist .308, with .298 bore (Boots Obermyer barrels), finished between 28 and 30 inches long. You can't get there with a short 24-inch tube, partner. [/QUOTE]
