These are scans of batch-testing cards that have been shot on our indoor 25yard range at Clach.

The cards were shot on 11/10/07.  Having just returned from Bisley I had about 12 different types of ammo to be batch tested.

My youngest son (13) also batch tested and his card is included too.

Conditions:

Evening shoot, indoors, black+decker workmate with a piece of worktop floating on top - nothing screwed down!  A front rest that suits NSRA rules - that is hard + flat, no side wings etc.  In the shoulder for the rear rest (say that another way - not the most secure but kind of OK for my level of shooting) with a supporting hand.

My rifle is an Anschutz 2013 stock with a 1702 barrel - about 20K shots down barrel - and a cheap x40 scope on top.

The rifle was cleaned before the start and on each 'change of make'.  That is the Tenex was shot with no cleaning, but the barrel was cleaned and a 'warming shot' put down the barrel when I moved to e.g. Lapua.  
Thereafter it was 1 warming shot (if needed) then 10 shots per target, shooting 2 or 3 targets in the 10 minute detail, then a break while the other shooter did his thing.

My son has an Anschutz 2013 stock with an older match 54 barrel - an unknown shots down barrel but the headspace is fine - he used a n equally cheap x24 tasco scope.  He does not get involved in cleaning.  He took a wee while to sight-in as that scope had never been near his rifle before - hence the mess in the middle!

Note that NO zeroing was performed - I am interested in group size not hitting the middle.  I forgot the issues of aiming at the middle once the middle had been blown away, and only after the first three targets on card1 I clicked the sights off and aimed at the while "8" at 12 o-clock.  I reshot the first three targets to get a fair comparison.

Low-res pictures of the cards

The first batch of r100 had a great group (thats 9 bullets in the hole in the target) but I had a strange noise and 'flyer' - which gave the 9.
The second group of 10 was not so tight - but had no flyers.

Card2

The Lapua Midas had a tendency to produce diagonal (2 to 7) type holes.  I reshot a group of this just to try to make sure it was not an effect of my aim - in between times I had a good-enough central group.

The 1041 speed (bottom right - and shot last) is my current ammo, I am probably looking to move to the middle right ammo - but I will run a few more tests before committing.
