Clint Swigert / SHOOTING FOR PERFECTION

PS: Not knowing where you are located, you can also test at the Lapua Test Range in Mesa, AZ and buy what tests best in your rifle. Don't expect to buy a brick, or less than a case, unless that's all they have of that good lot.

I just bought a couple of bricks from
http://goodshootinginc.com/index.php?categoryID=558
They show case lots of both Center-X and Midas + available.
Price was not bad and service was great. Just be aware that their shipping defaults to next day air, but they have very economical options in their drop-down menu.

Cooper4141 - Why not Champs Choice or C.S.S. ? I've had good service from them over the years.
Don't know about Champs Choice, but C.S.S. has been having a tough time getting ammo lately (like everyone else).

I have called one of them before and they wouldn't look to see what lot numbers they had. Some woman that answered the phone said they didn't sell by certain lots. you just get whatever they haveCooper4141 - Why not Champs Choice or C.S.S. ? I've had good service from them over the years.

# case in lots
My experience has been, there are only 2 to 4 cases of any lot. Only once, did I get a box that was markes 2/6. The 6 represented how many cases in that lot. The new numbering system is different. Example 27545515012, the last number, (2) is the number of cases in that lot. What the other numbers mean, is still a mystery to me.

I have some experience ordering ammo from various suppliers. Have no knowledge re. lot #s on Lapua and their meaning - just went with what I got and did pretty well by the way. Just getting into Eley - buying different velocities and different machines. Thinking the greatest difference will be speed. We'll see. Now, as to testing ........ what's it going to take for fair test of a particular lot of a manufacturer? Get a bunch of different lots - different ammos. Gotta pick consistent conditions for all (wind, temp, etc.) - that's a given. How about 5 2-shot groups & 3 5 shot groups @ whatever distance (I think 50 yd is minimum, maybe 100 yds tells more) for each lot? That's 25 rounds - 1/2 box. Maybe start at 50 yds. - run 'em all, then do it again at 100 yds.? Measure results. Does this tell anything? Can't test them all. I'm no Trump. Any thoughts?
