Lot speeds are they by design or luck of the draw

That is real nice Tim!

Interesting how Killough catalogues / markets all their Eley Tenex for both their warehouses....

I've found thru an admittedly very limited sample size of ONE (lol) that a specific speed ammo of one lot shot just as well another lot of the same speed in my gun.

YMMV. Prior performance no guarantee of future results. My gun exists nowhere else in the known universe.

My rifles are not picky, both can shoot speeds from 326-330. when I was using heavy tuners they seemed to like the 327-328 only and forget anything 326 or 329-330

The path to success is a lot easier if you stay on the trail and don't get sidetracked off into the woods.

Killough's markets their ammo by LOT NUMBER, the speeds are there and purely incidental.
IF/when you ever develop a relationship with them and get to talk to Dan or Paul about buying ammo, virtually all conversations are about lots, usable speeds become a fairly broad latitude.
Your example based on two lots, one single buy, same speed, that there is what is called coincidence.

Remember folks, one final thought, ELEY makes ammo on 6 machines total and all get rebuilt/refit.[the old 1 machine has become the new 8 machine]. Lapua, at least through last year, produced off of a single machine which is entirely reasonable to assume why there is a narrower spread on velocity. Talking to anybody at the local levels can be iffy.
Even ELEY who sent folks to the USA before to attend a big match and answer questions, were rather vague on way to much stuff, as I recall.

Alas, no more, sold it and moved, for a while to a 350 GT and this past year back to long term Euro roots.
Remember my motto, "It's never too late to have a happy childhood" .

Thanx for the info. I'll think about it.

by the way, and sorry to get the thread off track, go talk to Stiller, he is a major Chevy/ muscle guy. He has a real nice restored 69 Z28 among others.
