Kinda contradictory statements.....

I'm a perfectionist also and soon as I switched to Lapua ES dropped to almost single digits.

Ironically, under 350mtrs I didn't notice any real world difference at all to accuracy. YMMV

Can't argue with that. It is a bit contradictory but unfortunately I can't use Lapua for everything.

I have Starline, PPU, and ADI. The weights and consistency of the H2O capacities on all three are similar (I am not mixing them btw). Annealed and fettled, I am surprised they would be responsible for that much deviation.

Before settling on AR2206H with the TMK's, I tried 2208 with the Lapua brass and got pretty average results. Shall try the lighter bullets with it again though.
