Lapua 0.314" HBWC Bullets

Greetings,

Nice sunny day so I went testing. I loaded six different 0.314" 98 grain bullets with identical cases, primers, powder, ect.

I had some older Lapua 98 HBWC and some of the recent offering, with the different lube, and neither would stay on the repair center at 50 yards!

My trusted H&N bullets shot one hole at 50 yards for a 200X20.

A former US Pistol Team Member gifted me some Lapua 83 and 98 grain commercial ammo a while back. Both shot close to X-ring at 50 yards. So, the Lapua bullet is capable of good accuracy. Sadly, I have not discovered the formula.

So, I ask the members of the BaloneyNet for results of their testing.

Bear in mind, I seek only scans or photos of actual groups at 50 yards.

"Shoots better than I can" has no value to me nor anyone else.

Cheers,

Dave

I'm having trouble reading my spreadsheets on my phone (handing out Halloween candy right now). I found evidence of groups from 2.3" to 2.6" (and some larger) with factory Lapua ammo with my GSP and your barrel.

I know I have tested the Lapua 83gn HBWC. Can't find the results right now. My recollection was that they were sweet-shooting but not 50-yard accurate.

I don't know that I ever got my hands on the 98gn HBWC for reloading.

Will try to dig up more for you when I'm at a keyboard.

Found more information. I do not have it explicitly written down in my notes, and I don't believe that I have any of the bullets left, but I'm almost certain that these were with the Lapua 83gn HBWC.
