Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Lapua Naturalis Bullets - Loads and Performance on Game

Thank you MZ5. Here are the results of testing the above loads at the shooting range. The standard COAL and the short COAL seem to produce identical results . The long COAL produced higher velocity (I was expecting slightly lower!) and a poor group. I am not sure why this happens but a plausible explanation is that the bullets are now touching the lands.

There is also an interesting "structure" in the 5-shot groups in series A and C. Any explanation for that?

PS. I adjusted the scope for windage after Series A. Series B, C and D are shot after the adjustment.
