Lapua Long Range

[MUP]

Woo Hoo, I just returned to the house to warm up. 48 degrees and 4-6 mph wind in cloud conditions this morning. The new lot of Super Long Range is a keeper. my SK LRM was running around 1085 this morning and the Lapua SLR was running 1100. Final groups on steel at 200 in the wind, three shots in 1 1/4 inches, then I started a 5 shot group on another steel and had the first 4 on steel at 1 1/2 and got in a hurry on the last shot with cold hands and opened it up to 3 inches. I believe in good conditions the Vudoo will shoot one inch or less at 200.

Awesome! Great shooting! I've got a couple bricks as well and waiting till the rain and wind are gone on the same day to test now. Might be next year.

Just yesterday tested Midas against the new Long Range and Super Long Range. My target was set at 67 yards, the reason for this distance is this is the starting point for a rimfire match I'm attending in May. We start at 67 then go to 107, 167 the 246. I was using my custom Suhl and winds were light at maybe 7 mph, I was using a wind flag. See attached picture of target, I need to now stretch things out.

Can you elaborate about why you say there's a new production line solely for Long Range and Super Long Range?

It's worth noting that current loading machines are identified by the lot number's first digit following the slash -- which will be a 5, a 6, or a 7. Any new loading machines will have a different number.

Possible tighter tolerances with new machines may not occur. The existing loading machines are continually having parts changed and adjustments made as required to maintain required tolerances. It's an ongoing process that must be, and is, carefully monitored.

FWIW the long range I have indicates machine 6.

More testing at 107 yards same Suhl.

I shot some LLR today and was happy with the result at 100. Also happy at 50 as well. Nice to have ammo that performs at multiple distances. Next up will try longer distances with it, but I'm satisfied with my purchase already.
