LOL
It is rewarding when you find a group of folks to shoot with. Good luck in your quest.

Yep. IIRC, F-TR is .223 or .308, scope and bipod w/rear bag, prone. US Palma is .223 or .308, open sights, unsupported prone. International Palma is .308 and 155gn bullets. There was some talk of Palma rule changes, like adding scopes and/or cartridges, but, I haven't seen anything on that yet. Probably won't until the new Army cartridge is adopted fully. Then might see it added to the US Palma and F-TR.
With the faster twist, 80 or 90gn bullets, and a longish barrel I suspect a .223 would be give the .308 loads a run for their money at 1000yd. The only problem would be getting them to fit in a magazine. Don't think AICS mags would allow seating them out very far.
Yep, I know the feeling well LOL I can also tell the difference when I get toward the end of a session.
Happens to me as well but am getting better. Confidence in your equipment and load really help.
