I’m hearing all the time that some rifles prefer this ammo over the other. But I’m thinking that any quality rifle shoot well with any quality ammo the right torque is applied. The right torque would allow finding the sweet spot of the barrel harmony.
With my Savage G model, at 50 yards I was shooting 0.6” groups with a front torque of 25 inch/lbs with cheap $2/box of Federal American Eagle .22LR 38gr (not grouping well with Wolf). By increasing the torque to 27 inch/lbs I was able to group consistently at an average of .48”.
Next week I’ll be receiving 1 box of Lapua center X and 2 box of SK Match. So instead of trying different torque with expensive ammos, I would like to know your thoughts on the following: Would any quality rifle shoot well with ANY quality ammo if the right torque is applied.
WARNING: Don’t apply the torques I’m listing in this post to your rifle. I have replaced the bottom metal and I’m able to apply more torque
