[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 410545, member: 4964"] a good point for lot number may be to go to benchrest.com and read the rimfire posts. This is a little extreme example but gets the point across. These guys will buy all of a said lot for their rimfire guns if it is a shooter. The difference in X count is often the decider on these matches. Remember the 10 ring is roughly the diameter of the 22 pill they are shooting at. Anyway, A manufacturer has many machines making the same "load" Each machine is calibrated the same but there are still many variables that aren't consistent from machine to machine day to day, shift to shift. A lot number usually indicates the date, the machine, and the shift it was made on. There is usually a window of tolerances that are acceptable. Most people not super into accuracy that are happy with a 2" group would never notice the difference from lot to lot. Those of us that like super sub MOA at medium and long distance would rather quickly. I am not a super long distance guy. 800 yds is my farthest shot available on the land that I hunt most shots are under 400. You are in the right place here...I have been a member since 2005 and reading this forum has enabled me to do things I only dreamed of doing 5 years ago. The bottom line is if you find accuracy acceptable shoot it. It sure helps my confidence that when I pull the trigger I will get the same result every time.
