The Sako 300wm bit me!
I let my support hand creep forward underneath the palm swell.

Broke my left thumb right before shipping out for the desert and the bruising spread out like that. I duct taped it to my hand and called it good. I think you should probably follow a different plan since it still bothers me from time to time. I thought duct tape could fix anything. Maybe there is something to medical school after all.
 
See a Doc. If you don't have insurance urgent care places will see you for about $100. Too many little bones and tendons in a hand to screw around.

And you have "bronzer"? Some things you need to keep private!
 
I was shooting 200gr safari rounds and I could not get comfortable on the rifle that day so I used my back support hand to apply a bit of upward pressure to the bottom of the stock right behind the bottom of the palm swell, between the wood bench and the stock. Remembering to use padded gloves = priceless.
I can move all my fingers with no pain but any type of touch to the back of my hand is"quite" uncomfortable. I am taking a little break and using the down time to glass bed and paint up the rifle.
