[QUOTE="dugby, post: 1419727, member: 7393"] I just bought a box of 500 of the 155 gr Sierra Palma MK. Reloaded a few this evening to see what charge they need. The new palma's are longer than the older 155. Got pressure signs way before max load. But shot a few at about 1/2 grain below the lowest charge showing pressure signs. Got some good groups from them right at dark. That should be a fairly decent 1000 yard bullet. I would not shoot them at a deer, but I wonder if it would be a pelt saver on a coyote or would it be a pelt destroyer? I am leaning towards 155 for targets, coyotes, Pdogs and then 165/168's for deer/elk hunting. I like the idea of really getting accustomed to a specific trajectory/wind drift, but there is only so much you can do. [/QUOTE]
