This test center has a control room attached to a long, above-ground tunnel. Advanced sensors allow group sizes to be recorded at multiple distances simultaneously. In addition, velocities are recorded so that customers can evaluate ES and SD for all the lots of ammunition they test.

Firearm owners can bring their own rifles which are then secured to a shooting station. That way various sample lots of Lapua rimfire ammunition can be tested for performance in the customer's own rifle. Nothing beats that...

Day before yesterday, while up at the Marengo test facility, I met the young man destined to go there for that job. He was at Marengo for about 4 weeks of training prior to reporting to Mesa. Nice young gentleman from Georgia...he professionally tested my rifle mid-tour of his training period. Should be a great asset for the Mesa facility when it reopens.
