Is it available yet? Def want to try.

Not sure, I haven't checked into it more.

I still have a couple years worth of the regular Lapua PB to burn through before I take the rifle back to the Lapua test facility again. But that new ammo is at the top of the list.

Hopefully you don’t have to sell a kidney to buy a case ?

 

[steve123]

It's worth it, believe me. I sacrificed for the old case but that stuff shoots extremely well in my 1827F.

So how can it shoot better than “regular” Polar? How can you get “more” consistency than that?

It's in the title of this thread, temperature "insensitive"/new powder tech. That means more consistent first round hits whether cold out, or hot, since velocity will be more stable, and maybe the new bullet design or new lube/non lube??? will help with that as well. As far as grouping, that's what lot number testing is all about.

I have shot many cases of Eley Biathlon Club over the years. I really miss that ammo. I think I still have 2 or 3 cases stashed away.

Hopefully the Lapua test facility in mesa will get some of this new ammo soon.
