Thread: Fun with 22s - wee ammo test

Tentman & I were chatting about rimfires and the LA101 was mentioned. My wife shot the attached target with her Lithgow yesterday - 50 metres outdoors with some twitchy wind increasing steadily all morning. Bulls are 1/2" O.D. - 100 shots - 4 lot numbers of SK Long Range. SK/Lapua is very scarce around here these days and we are pretty much buying anything we see and hoping that it shoots OK. The action of this rifle is bedded, including about 1" of the barrel. No pillars which really won't do much with the plastic trigger guards on these rifles. I run both my LA101's at 1.5NM screw torque. Groups are usually pretty round and consistent so I haven't really experimented with settings. I recently replaced the scope with a Meopta Optika 5 in 4-20 with the BDC3 reticle - Nice scope which suits the LA101 well.
