Okay, finally, a no wind morning after 4 months of fronts, squalls and nor'easters.
Lapua Long Range, with and without lube, at 100 yards.
Those of y'all that think lubricant is important and those that don't,
are going to have to explain to me what just happened.
I am so confused.
CZ 455 Lilja, Sinclair bipod, rear bag
100 yards, wind variable 1 to 3 mph
Using turpentine and a clean cotton rag,
scrubbed the lube off the bullets of a box of Lapua Long Range.
Blue marker on the headstamp to identify no lube cartridges.
Set up at 8 am, minimal wind, sent 15 rounds of SK to prime the barrel.
Then sent the box of factory issued Lapua Long Range. Top left.
Next sent the box of factory issued Lapua Super Long Range. Top right.
Stopped, cleaned the bore completely with a 204 boresnake and Hoppes 9.
Then 3 passes with new cotton patches and trimmer string to check.
Patches exited clean, no lube, no carbon.
Cold bore to last shot of no lube Lapua Long Range took 20 minutes.
All 3 results, 50 shots each time all one one backer.
8 am to 9:30 am, 150 shots.
If lube is important to accuracy with the 22lr, explain those results, please?
I always thought the lube was important, Eley said "not" they may be right??????
