Ordering by LOT
If a brick, or case, of ammunition turns out to be outstanding, how can you order more of the same lot? Can it be done on line, or do you have to call direct and request it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Jerry, if you call Champion Shooters Supply and talk to the guy in the warehouse ask him to send you a couple of boxes of different lot numbers of the ammo that you want to try and that he has several cases of it.
It does not matter if the ammo is expensive or not he will do that but he will not hold it for you, so as soon as you get it go to the rifle range try it in your rifle and order what you can afford of the lot number that shot the best in your rifle. Tony

I don't think there are any discernible features of premium ammo itself.
There is greater consistency in the manufacture of it so it should have a resulting greater consistency in the performance and more often than not it does. There are exceptions where mid-grade ammo works
exceptionally well. A current batch of SK Standard Plus I have will hold an inch or better for 10 shot groups in ideal (calm) conditions. I have tried batches of Eley Club Extra that gave similar results. I have also tried Eley Tenex that wouldn't group under 2" at 100m but for some odd reason would group well under 1/2" at 50m.
There is no magic answer other than try the ammo and see how it performs in your rifle.

I haven't tested for grouping between lots, but recently experienced a .5 MOA variation in zero between lots of the same ammunition.
