I bought five different lots of SK Long Range Match to test. Initial testing was prone off bipod & rear bag at 100yds, shooting my original V-22 w/Krieger bbl. There was a lot of mirage that morning right before lunch, and I wasn't at all impressed with the first four lots. But the last lot printed a 10-shot group that was only 1/2" tall, even though it was a bit over an inch wide. I went up to the house from the range, sat myself down, and bought a case of that good lot, then went into town for lunch.
Feeling a little foolish for basing the purchase of that much of a new grade of ammo on one group out of one rifle, I went right back out after lunch with both V-22s. I set up the chronograph, then took a full-size steel IPSC target out to 210yds, and shot further 10-shot groups with each lot, out of each rifle, off bipods 'n rear bag from my portable bench with both Krieger & Bartlein bbl'd V-22s. The same lot of LR Match that had shot so well before lunch again shot the best, out of both rifles. Chrono data showed an ES of 12 & SD of 3 for this lot, better by quite a margin than any of the other four lots of it. The 10-shot strings out of both V-22s with that lot were also impressive, neither one of which was over 2.5" at 210. I then quit worrying about ordering the case of that lot of LR Match....
