Several years ago, a friend of ours from south central Ks. gifted a couple of us a box each out of a case of Lapua Polar Biathlon that he'd bought when his local dealer was trying to clear out his stock of the stuff. It shot terrific groups in both our jelrod converted CMP 40X repeaters - good enough to get me looking for lot samples of a few other lots of it that I could find online. Have yet to find another lot of that grade of Lapua that shoots anywhere near as good as that one 'magic' lot did, and Lapua has changed the name of their Biathlon grade ammo at least twice since then. I did keep a few bricks of the various lots I tried on hand - if nothing else, it's what I'll shoot if I have the desire to get out during a cold spell in the winter to do a little shooting. The accuracy it does have doesn't suffer in cold weather the way any of the other grades of SK & Lapua ammo does when it gets down much below 30*F during the winter.
