Lapua Midas L

[thebuckhunter]

Anyone use this in their target rigs? What kind of accuracy do you get? What are the ballistics on the bullet? Is the ammo hard to get?

Thanks,

-Jason

International Imports carries it - $109 a brick.
I've seen Lapua in some stores around here, not sure about Midas.

I've got a bunch of Eley Tenex I picked up at a gun show, but haven't shot any yet.

Jason,

Lapua Midas is probably one of the most accurate rimfire ammo along with Eley EPS and RWS R50.

You can get it from Peter Dobson at Hirsch Precision: a really nice guy to deal with.

Not sure if there's much of a difference but I tried the Laupa Master M the other day and it was awesome. Consistant ragged holes at 50yrds. Unfortunately it cost me $12.50 for 50rnds so I doubt I'll be shooting much of it.

Midas is Lapua's finest match ammo.

Midas L is slightly larger than Midas M and works better in North American and British match rifles. M seems to work better in Annies and the like. This is a generalization. Every lot of ammo shoots differently in every gun. Some rifles will print better with some lots the cheaper Master than with some lots of Midas.

If you are going to pay this much for ammo, buy one box each from as many different lots as possible, test them indoors or under dead calm conditions, and then buy as much of you can of the lot that works.
