Same velocity, same, same, so what have they done to make it superior at 100 yards ?

MV - 1106fps

Maybe keeping it slow and steady to manage the transsonic zone?

Whatever the secret sauce they have applied I'm very unlikely to get to taste it. "Lapua" means something along the lines of very, very expensive in my language.

I do not see anything that makes me go "ah!" in the figures ? Just like any other ammo, or what?

More care is taken when producing this ammo to ensure a low ES. This helps at long range.

Yes, I have noticed that grouping at 70 m outward is very reflective to amount of money spent on ammo.

Last time I looked Lapua did not make 22LR ammo, but is was made for them by SK.

Both brands are usually very good, especially the more expensive ranges.

I guess the cheaper lines are the rejects from the better lines.
