    I was over at the Lapua Factory last week and the ammo selected for the testing in March is very impressive!! :)

    I'm going to miss out on this one. As much as I'd love to increase my stash of good ammo, there's no space on my license for a chunk of Lapua stuff. :(

    Won't be at this, sadly, as I'm only starting back to training now, but it really is extremely worthwhile. I've had great results testing with Lapua and would encourage anyone else to try it.

    Better than RWS R50's?

    I tested briefly with RWS in Germany last year. I got some very good results there too, but didn't take any ammo with me. I got the same or better results from testing with Lapua and Eley on multiple occasions and had a chance to shoot both from the shoulder too, where they performed well. I personally believe in testing everything, at every opportunity. They all make great ammo and there's far more variation batch to batch than I can discern from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you're buying R50 or any premium ammo off the shelf with no detailed testing and batch selection, you're likely wasting your time and money. Controlled testing like this is the best way to ensure your rifle has something it shoots well.
