Just for the fun of it, I took the Anschutz MPR64 to the range yesterday to look at the difference in performance of three grades of Lapua ammo.
Each group is 5 shots at 50 yards. I am blown away at the difference. I also shoot a couple of other bolt guns. A CZ452 Trainer and a Ruger 77-22. They will shoot very similar groups as the Lapua Standard with anything I put through them. Both of this rifles have shorter barrels while the Annie is HUGE. I would not have thought the Annie would be so ammo sensitive yet the pictures don't lie.
I shot Lapua Standard, Lapua CenterX, and Lapua Midas. I have also shot Eley Tenex in this rifle and the Annie does not like that very much either. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself. First pic is Lapua Midas. Second is Lapua Center X and the last is Lapua Standard.
The order of shooting was Standard, then Center X and then Midas.
