Wow, great photos! Wonder if Dober still visits here?

Marty, I do use the 90 Scenar but have only shot 1 deer with it so far.
Large bodied mule deer buck, 1 shot, quartering, no exit, buck dropped instantly and was very dead.

What would be the minimum velocity for reliable expansion using the 139gr?
I have a Ruger Predator and it shoots the 140gr A-Max under half inch all day but speed is lacking at just 2,500ft/s.
At 650yds according to Strelok the bullet would be traveling around 1,650ft/s at this speed would the Scenar reliably open?
The reason I'm asking 650yds is the the longest shot I can take on my lease.

Guess with all the .308's in my house I need to drink the kool aid. Pack it along in your canteen.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

My oldest daughter Kimber (13) popped her first elk. An Absolutely Perfect 375 yard shot (lasered), right behind the shoulder (where she was told to put the bullet) with her .308. She is pointing to the entry. 155 Scenar Bullet not recovered:
