    you clearly have no clue
    you did not answer the questions that were asked.
    why would any competitor use bulk mil ammo in competition today?
    ( for the record, in the past all palma teams shot the SAME ammo in the match)
    again you have no clue.
    good bye

    That really should not be a surprise at all, if the M118lr load is that great why don’t the FTR guys use them?

    I don’t know a thing about the Palma team or any of that BS nor am I a government sniper so I don’t comment on things I do not have personal experience with and don’t recall that being the thread topic beyond a factory load request but here is what I will say, the m118 loads I tested were 175 gr . I did not measure the oal nor did I give a rats behind at the time, I also tested some federal gold metal match ammo with ok but not great results my loads were 168 gr sierra bthp at .015 off the lands with 43.5 gr of Varget that shot smaller out to 600 yards.
    I moved on from 308s for Benchrest shooting a few years ago. (I’ve put you on my ignore list )

    Hey Jim, This one has had a bit of an “attitude” problem since joining here. He also joined at least 1 or 2 other gun forums within the last several months, with the same winning personality. He hadn’t been here 40 posts & received a little “Time Out” for a week. He’s toned it down some, but clearly still has some anger issues you might say. Best not to answer his taunts.

    Shame. He does at times sound like he knows a fair bit. But it’s usually laced with VENOM. Just sounds like an Axe to grind.
