My Tikka T1x absolutely loves this stuff. It "likes" CCI SV, but shoots the Lapua incredibly consistently. 1/2 moa at 50 yds if I do my part correctly. A little on the pricey side, but that is the cost of accuracy and consistency. Never a disappointment.
Dave M.
Functioned reliably in my most finicky target guns. Best grouping with this ammo, very high performance levels. A little oily coming out of the box. If price is not a factor, this is a great choice. For sandy/windy locations I would think twice.
