Rimfire Benchrest can be the most frustrating shooting game. You can win or lose a match by being out of the 10 or X by a hair's width. However, the big problem is finding the right brand/batch of ammo that shoots best in your rifle under the day's conditions.

Testing to find just the right brand/batch of ammo is expensive and frustrating. I've bought sample lots of my rifle's favorite brand of match ammo, tested them extensively, and when ready to buy a case of my first choice, there wasn't any left, nor was there any left of ANY of the 10 batches received the day before I tested!!! Talk about being ticked off!!!

The company I bought the test rounds from knew I was going to buy a case of the best ammo for my rifle, but they sold out of every batch they sold me to test.

Okay, so you found a batch that may have one flyer in a box. Not bad, until you're shooting a perfect target and you hit that one bad round, probably on the last row of a "perfect" target. Arrrrg!!!!
