To answer my own ? with first hand knowledge I just spoke with Luke at Lapua Ohio and he stated 4 to 500 rounds.Lapua says 1k.
I have use Killough Shooting in Texas (ELEY) a couple of times in the past and was very happy with their recommendations. I felt that the testing cost was much less then purchasing the ammo and considerably less time was spent by them testing 15 different lots. I don't know if was by chance or planned by both times the rifles came back with the tuners almost perfect.I cant tell you of anyone who has or does win big national matches...That has ever found capable ammo by tunnel testing from either eley or lapua! Buy your test lots and test them at home
From the Lapua Test Center website:To answer my own ? with first hand knowledge I just spoke with Luke at Lapua Ohio and he stated 4 to 500 rounds.
I than asked if had tested any single shots and as of yet he has not.
Ok I am very confused as to why you started this thread. you ask about round count before sending in a rifle to test. but here you write you have used KSS to test a couple of times and you state the rifles came back with the tuners almost perfect?I have use Killough Shooting in Texas (ELEY) a couple of times in the past and was very happy with their recommendations.

Actually I know of one ARA (high up) HoF shooter that got some excellent ammo through Eley/KSS tunnel testing and he was very satisfied with the job they did for him. That said, if you are not prepared to drive over to TX, or send them your barreled action, you really have no choice but to do it at home. That same shooter very recently recommended shooting lots at home - which I plan on doing later this year.I cant tell you of anyone who has or does win big national matches...That has ever found capable ammo by tunnel testing from either eley or lapua!

Does he have a website? All I can find is a Facebook account....Clint Swigert also sells test lots and typically has 10-20 lots of CX and Midas available.

Good Shooting has a website. Swigert , Bert's Garage , and Wayne Wills do not.Sorry. Is that a yes or a no?
