So I suppose it’s not ironic that France didn’t actively participate?

The irony is that it wasn’t that long ago the Brits tested their ammon ON Germany not IN Germany.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in the pride of British ammo being tested in Germany?

Great result though. Interestingly 40 shot groups not that much bigger than 10 shot groups.

Equipment list or it didn’t happen.

Editor: As it says in the article, it was a Bleiker .22 LR rifle shooting Eley lot 1014–01002, and lot 1014-06005. Bleiker makes the whole gun — stock, action, barrel. Keep in mind that, in these test facilities, the rifle is clamped in a fixture, so the “human element” is eliminated.
