Great Video Man , Subbed

@@CyclopsJoeVideos I’m honored. Thanks Joe.

Great video and glad i found your channel. See you out on the range once it warms up a bit. I have alot of testing to do with my vudoo.

[@Okrifleman]

@@jcrow530 thanks. I think I’m about as excited as you are to see how that Vudoo shoots. I’m pretty sure Santa is bringing me a new bipod. Hope to see you out there soon.

That's good data, thanks for posting. I picked up a couple of bricks of the Midas but have not shot it. A couple years ago I tested a bunch of ammo and found that SK Pistol Special shot the best out of my Walther KKM smallbore rifle at 50yards. That was quite a surprise.

[@Okrifleman]

@@bpm990d glad you found it interesting. There’s so many types to try it’s a bit overwhelming. You’re not the first to tell me they’ve had good luck with the SK Pistol. It’s on my list to try.

[@bpm990d]

@@Okrifleman There are two types. Both in a green box. One is a little more expensive, but try both.

[@Okrifleman]

@ I’ll see if I can find them and give them a try. Thanks

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Yup been there like so many others !

[@PeterLindmark-w2n]

Good test - all tests have statistical issues, but Yours is better than many I’ve seen. For my competition (and hunting) I test several 4-shot groups over time. There are weaknesses in that testing also, but keeping calm I still find my go to-ammo. Really no surprises.

[@Okrifleman]

@@PeterLindmark-w2n I don’t know what the best way is but I have fun trying to find it.

[@Leadheadsam]

Great info thanks 👍

[@Okrifleman]

@@Leadheadsam you’re welcome. Glad you found it interesting.

[@CountryRimfire]

Cool way of doing groups! I need to try this!! 😊

[@Okrifleman]

@@CountryRimfire thanks. If you end up trying it let me know. I just subscribed to your channel and will check it out this evening.

[@NoPro1962]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

There’s always that one shot that absolutely insists on going astray when shooting groups. I have the impression that this is much more common with .22lr than with centerfire. Nothing is more frustrating than having a tight little group, only for one shot to socially distance itself from the others...

[@jmonahan1]

Nice job trying to help us understand sample size. Referencing the Hornady boys is a plus!

[@Okrifleman]

@@jmonahan1 thanks. I’ve learned a lot from the Hornady podcast.

[@johnmiller9979]

Good video

[@Okrifleman]

@@johnmiller9979 thanks. I appreciate that.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

Some insight... your lot testing and ammo combination shouldn't be judged at 50 yards / meters. This is why lot test centers will use 50 meter results to further test the same lot at 100 before making judgment. In my expirence, SK at that velocity 1050-1060 will produce more vertical spread and less accuracy. You may find, this is where that particular lot of Midas + may have a tighter cone of accuracy at longer distances.

[@Okrifleman]

@@EagleEyeShooting I keep hearing that from guys that are better shooters than I am so I guess I need to stop being so arrogant and try it. I can’t get my head around that. If the accuracy at 50 yards is very similar and the ES and SD are similar I doesn’t make sense. But my biggest accomplishment as a shooter was getting my shooting merit badge in Boy Scouts so I know I have a lot to learn. I will focus my testing at 100 yards though and I appreciate your thoughts. Also I’m tired of losing to rifles you built. You do impressive work.

[@stevekiemele995]

I foul the barrel with SK Rifle Match before competing with Midas+. I’ve seen some great groups with the fouling shots and decided to stay with the SK for the match (benchrest). It has always let be down before I finish the card.

[@Okrifleman]

@@stevekiemele995 when I first started shooting with my club we all shot SK Rifle Match. Now I’m they only one still using it. It comes down to the cost for me but I only compete locally.

[@johnmiller9979]

I shoot 5 shot groups at 50 if it’s good I shoot 10 shots at 100yds but the a low sd number with 10 shots seems to work well too. I watched this on one of eagle eye early KZbin’s

[@Okrifleman]

@@johnmiller9979 I need to shoot more at 100 yards. I’m pretty new to this precision 22 game and shooting that far with a 22 is still crazy to me. It is a thrill to make hits that far away though. At our clip we shoot 22’s as far as 180 yards. With just a little wind that’s a really hard shot to hit. A lot of fun though and I’m learning a lot.

[@couespursuit7350]

Makes no sense to buy Midas+ that has not been lot tested for an individual rile. In reality Midas+ is worth it if you are a serious competitor and your rifle is tested at a Lapua test center to perform as desired with a certain lot of Midas+ and that lot of Midas+ shows better results than the best lot of CenterX.

[@Okrifleman]

@@couespursuit7350 Midas+ is fantastic ammo. I’ve been beaten by it quite a few times but from what I’ve seen SK Rifle Match can hold its own against more expensive ammo. I do agree though the more serious shooter requires more expensive ammo. Thanks.
