Winchester NRAA 155gr Palma rounds 308

Hey all just wondering if anyone has had experience with these round?

They are discontinued but sell for nearly $1 per shot. It's almost as cheap as buying new brass. Except you get to fireform them and get down range practice.

I am wondering if the brass is the same as the other winchester rounds. If so I think I will buy 5 or so boxes and use them for range time and then use the brass. I suspect they may be Olin brass given that they were made for the Australian NRA rifle comps.

I just wonder how compatible they are with US winchester brass. Maybe they are the same?

not sure but check the primer size before buying,
palma cases usually have small primers that I don't think you want
it is a very good idea to buy bulk lots as they should come from the same batch and will be more consistant
expect to cull some win factory cases as they crimp them hard and the crimp can cause splits in the neck
not trying to put you off win cases are good

Cheers Mark,

I would not have thought about that uni it was too late. I got in touch with Winchester in Victoria. They are going to get back to me on Monday. The dude in the know, someone called Aaron, wasn't in when I rang.
