horse's for course's I suppose, I use 200's because they work well for me and the rifle likes them, slow but accurate and predictable
as they say run what ya brung, so until every thing gets govt banned or I re-barrel
that said I wouldnt mind trying the palma brass and trying for the next accuracy node up around 2600fps

Yeah, I get that. If that's what you've got then compromise is the name of the game. And if it delivers what you need then all good.

I was coming at this from the context of 'what's an ideal new 600m gun'?

In that situation an 08 case pushing 200's doesn't make any sense.

In yours it does.

308 Hornady 165gr SSTs good for 600mtrs.With no wind around can be reliable on kill shots and has the energy.But id use a 300wsm or 300wm if you are going to shoot a lot around 600mtrs plus
