[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 76035, member: 1007"] One benefit of the 155 is that they can be fired at much higher velocities out of the 308 than say the 168's. They also seem to give a higher real world BC than the 168. This = less drop and less drift. While some 168 loads fired from a 308 might not even make it to 1K, the 155's most certanly will deliver themselves to 1K with ease and good accuracy to boot. It seems that the Palma bullets dont do much better than 7-8" at 1K, but that aint bad either. I have had good luck with all the 155's. The Palma, AMAX and Scenar. Have found the Palma to give as much as .460 BC depending on the barrel I am using, 474-485 for the AMAX and .500-.510 for the Scenar. All have shot perfect holes at 1k even in -5 to -20 degrees F. at sea level. Thats pretty impressive. The AMAX's have done as well as 3.5", the Scenars have done as well as 5 inches and the Palmas have done as well as 7.5" at 1K for me. [/QUOTE]
