Question on Lapua performance differences

I am not sure if question can be answered so I’ll try to ask it the best I can

First I understand all rifles and ammo lots perform differently.

My question putting different lots aside for the moment.

In a given rifle does Lapua ammo performance consistency get better groups as the type goes from:
center-x
super long range
Midas+
x-act

Or asked another way

Do all lots of x-act out perform all lots of Midas+ Do all lots of Midas+ out perform all lots of center-x?

I am not a big competitor just a local club guy.

No. And especially at long range. Center X, many lots, shot better out last 100 than about 4 or 5 lots of Midas or XAct. You really need to try your ammo in your rifle.

Left of center these days is a mental illness .
Everyone's perception of where the "center" is will be different.
Sometimes very different.

I absolutely guarantee you that there are a metric shit ton that are extreme right of center that could be classed as mentally ill by most shallow definitions that are being tossed about.


I sincerely hope that a hot war never breaks out within our borders. However if that ever happens, I can assure you that are are capable people that will not allow extremes on either side to pass.

The enemy of your enemies is not necessarily your friend.

You sound like a sympathizer. Gay as fuck
And you sound like someone that is talking tough stuff but we all know you aren't going to anything but sit on your computer? What does that make you exactly? A politician?

How about I am just not afraid of the world like some of y'all. Whatever game someone is playing, they are winning with how paranoid and afraid you and a few others here sound.

Suppressed or not, that sound was not a muzzle report. It was a sonic crack. The shooter was far away. The shooter aimed for the head and hit the neck. Bullets drop at long distances. This is a rifle forum afterall. :D

If the videos above are relevant, then the center of that rooftop is 500 ft. from where Kirk was sitting.

EDIT: if shooter was at that corner section of the room shown above with the question mark, it's closer. Like 400-430ft.

Here’s the overhead of the location, plenty of spots for a shooter. Red dots his location

Google Earth with all the 3D buildings makes it clear that the end of the gray building with the tiered roof is probably the furthest vantage point for clear shot down. He was down in the bottom of the amphitheater and the shooter would have to be elevated. 400' plus or minus depending on which tier he was set up, and that doesn't take into account elevation, so take away distance for elevation change. Most likely the shooter isn't a pro at all, was aiming at his head, and actually hit low on his neck, so a 6"+ miss at 100+ yards, and low. You would think with the elevation difference it would have missed high, but the shooter sucked. If the shooter was inexperienced, but still aimed at his chest, it makes sense he would miss high not taking into account the elevation difference. Pure speculation, but to me the impact screams someone who can't shoot straight.

Be careful.



One mistake easily made is painting with too broad a brush.

Where do you draw the line with the Left?
There is no clear delineation.
I know a few left of center people that I have large differences of opinion with but they are reasonable in that they despise and denounce the stupid shit extreme people on their side of center are cheering on.

If we are not wise enough to exercise discretion with any effort, we have no moral ground to stand and win upon.




The second mistake easily made is under-estimating your potential opponent.

Are some of them mentally deficient? Yep. So are a ton of idiots that are right wing/conservative.
It is possible to be very intelligent AND evil.
Going in with a cocky and arrogant attitude is a mortal sin that you may or may not survive.


I'm not saying you are right or wrong. I am encouraging everyone to avoid making decisions and opinions based on emotion.

Rage, hate and passion are just a few things that can be manipulated to our undoing if we are not guarded.
That is an important statement when we stop and realize that every avenue of information is being tweaked to manipulate those very emotions.



Be careful.
Yeah I know people on the left as well . While they might not call for murder their insane vilification of anything moral or conservative feeds this shit . They loose their fuckin minds over enforcement of law , keeping men out of women's locker rooms etc . Left of center these days is a mental illness .

Dot is approximately where they are filming from, question mark the possible location of shooter and approximately the distance they are claiming

I tried to do this but couldn't figure it out, thanks for posting it. I think you're pretty darn close here and that would be a straight shot and about 200 yards like they have reported.
