I have to agree. CX is my go-to as well with Wolf Rifle Match a close 2nd. I did have a batch of Wolf that shot better than all with one rifle but more recent lots have been less accurate than CX or Midas+. I can see small improvements with Midas+ with most rifles on dead calm days but it costs about $4-5/bx more and while I keep some around for certain applications it is not used often. 10x is the same way. I keep it around as a benchmark to compare to Eley Blk. Usually the Eley Blk is just as good. Some of my guns shoot Eley well. All of my guns shoot Lapua well. The one that like Eley seem to be more lot sensitive. I cannot tell that much difference lot to lot with Lapua. I know there is some variance but it is real hard for me to see it without getting into heavy statistics. I was not aware that SK came off the Center-X line and Wolf off of the Midas line. Is that true? I always figured that it was all coming off of the same line. I have never had quite as good results with SK std+ when compared to Wolf. Maybe that is why? Anybody able to confirm that?There is a direct correlation in the more expensive ammo and it being more consistent. When ever I chrono lots of ammo, the higher priced will always have a lower SD. The CenterX has always been my go to for price pt and performance even tho the Rifle Match is a close second. The Tenex shot very well as well but for 99% of my shooting, its not worth the $5 premium over centerX.

X-Act, Midas+ and CenterX all are made on the same Lapua machines.
Statistical sampling and testing determine the labeling.
SK is a Lapua product. Wolf used to be.
Recently I read that it is now being manufactured by Eley.
I've tried rim sorting, weight sorting, oal sorting, brass dimension sorting
and found no useful correlation, except for bulk ammo where no powder was in the cartridge.
Powder weights are actually quite tight, it's primer quantities and bullet quality and seating
that seem to be to blame for the majority of my trajectory spread.
Except for that caused by my inability to correctly judge wind.![]()
SK Rifle Match has been my go too ammo for matches this past year. I've only stepped up past that to Lapua Center X and the results were the same so no reason to spend the extra so far. I'm just getting ready to start stretching things out past 200y so I'll revisit that for longer distances.
