Experience with Lapua Polar Biathlon Xtreme Ammo?

I started my barrel with LPB.
Here is the grouping I got after bedding (it was 99% similar to before bedding, except no screw torquing is necessary)

Those things were just stacking! I later started to shoot them 3 per target to be able to locate all the shots :)

Yes, that one pulled north still makes my skin crawl.

That's just teasing, Calfed.
I see 5 shots accounted for,
where are the rest of them.
You sent a lot more than that, post 'em up.

Include pics looking downrange over the setup.
I need the rifle pron. ;)
Honestly, those are the only five BiPolars I shot. I shot the match with Center X and that was nothing to brag about. (I should have used the PB's). After firing the match, I tried the PB's (5 rounds only!) and some Eley 10X's (again 5 rounds only) to see if they would group any better than the Center X's (they did).

Do you want a pic of the Eley 10X target?
 
I like anything rifle related that shows just how good the results can be.
Include pics of the setup and range so I can enjoy the view.
Rifle pron is a good thing! (y)

I'll post pics of the set up looking downrange next match. There are guys shooting with some pretty interesting stuff. One guy shoots off a SEB Max front rest. A couple of other guys are using $500 bipods.

I'm using a borrowed $100 Caldwell BR Rock front rest with a rear bag.

Here is the Eley 10X group---not as good as the BiPolar...

Shot a 100 yard match with my 52D and Lapua Polar Biathalon. Wind was light-to-moderate, varying from about 9 o'clock to 2 o'clock.

10 rounds .945"

Just like any rimfire, batch quality varies.
First box tried had a 70 fps ES.
Second box 32 fps.

If you don't lot test before purchasing, y'er just rolling the dice. :(
Very impressive 2 yard group.
