Right Ammo To Test:Lithgow&CZ455 Walther Barrel

[Mr.Revolverguy]

Waiting on some Lapua Xact and RWS 50

What do you guys think?

I know there are many many others but these are all either popular or many have stated these brands to be accurate in both of these rifles.

What do you think?

Left to right
Competition Ammo
Target Practice Ammo
Plinking Blasting Ammo






I am thinking I will test
All At 1 inch dots
Pull through 22 bore snake
Dot1 10 rounds season barrel
Dot2 10 rounds for group
Dot3 10 rounds with gemtech suppressor

Pull through 22 bore snake and start with new ammo.

Or should I go 10 rounds seasoning and break the rest of the groups into 5 shot groups?

I like the low to high $$ range of the ammo selection. I look forward to the results.

I'm looking forward to your testing! I'm messing with scopes on my 457 today, and I'm hoping to go out and actually test some ammo for accuracy in the next week or three.....cow scavanging tomorrow, or I'd go then....only free day....grumble, grumble.....

I'd mayne shoot 2, 5shot groups after seasoning the barrel. If your second groups are consistently more accurate you'll know 10shots wasn't enough to properly season the bore. A data point that may get lost in a pair of 10 shot strings.

Same here, interested what it likes, I really need to pick up a 455-457 I've been without a nice scopes 22 for a few years now.
