Run about 45-46 grains of Varget behind a 155 Seirra Palma or lapua Scenar, just touching the lands.
This is the load that 90% of the Palma shooters are using.
Your friend must realize however, thatt LR shooting involves a little more tan setting up on the bench and aiming, for instance , for argument's sake, a bullet that gets blown by wind 1/2" off at 100 yards will be more than 1 FOOT at 1,000.
Has he experience in 1,000 yard shooting ?
