I tested literally dozens of lots of SK Rifle Match before stumbling upon an exceptional lot four years ago, then was lucky enough to be able to buy two cases of it before a dealer only sale expired at Graf's. Got dealer pricing for the ammo, and free shipping & insurance - who wouldn't buy a case or two of it today with a deal like that - even if it wasn't an exceptionally accurate lot in your rifle? It shot pretty well in a couple of CMP 40Xs converted to use V-22 mags (Benchmark 3-groove & Lilja titebore), and still shoots fine in all three of my V-22 repeaters - two with Kriegers I fitted & chambered with a PTG EPS reamer, and one with a VGW fitted & chambered Bartlein - all three finished at 22".
I also tested a similar number of lots of Center-X before finding a really exceptional lot, only to find that it was sold out at all the wholesale outlets I called. That's what finally pushed me over the edge to send the 1st V-22 I barreled out to Mesa to have it tested by Lapua. Daniel found a lot that shot pretty darned good in that Krieger, so I bought two cases of it. It just so happens that this same lot shoots better in the V-22S that I barreled with a Shilen R5 and chambered with a Nevius reamer than anything else I've been able to lay hands on.
