30338,
Thanks for a great thread. My long rage shooting knowledge is slim for sure and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that heavy-for-caliber projectile, especially from a short-range drop perspective.
Congrats again on the bear, I look forward to more bullet on game performance reports.

How much freebore is needed? They seem to have a longer bearing surface than the 180 hybrid. Scenar 180's look slick and appear to have great quality control. I might be interested in trying these in a 28 Nosler I'm building.

I'd have to check my notes, but thinking I am about .01 off the lands. They tuned super easy and I didn't go through too many rounds before I settled on one. I'd twist it 8.5 and shoot either the scenars or the 195 bergers.

Thread resurrection/update. Starsky used those 180 scenars again this year. Bull was around 550 yards. One bullet recovered looked exactly like another nosler partition. I've shot a few things this year with a 195 berger eol and to me, the 180 scenar seems to be a harder bullet that is penetrating deeper. At some point, I might switch over but nothing has survived the 195s yet either.

I'll be testing the 180 Hybrid vs 180 Scenar at long range distance. The Scenar seems to be shooting a little better in my 28 Nosler. Both print same POI at 100 yards FWIW.

I'd have no fears on the 180 scenar based on the results I have seen. I haven't shot the hybrid. Good luck on the testing.

You guys are shooting these out of 7mm Rem Mags, right?

I've seen a lot of expansion issues out of the 180 hybrid..Meaning not expanding. the 195 EOL and 180 Scenar are far better hunting bullets, seeing consistent results out of them. Just passing along what i've seen.

I didn't kill a deer with the 180 Scenar from my old 7 lrm last year, but my buddy absolutely hammered a coues deer at 342. Did an entire front flip.

Would a 28 nosler be any better in your opinion I have a 7rm 1/8 twist in the works. It would be easy to go 28 your thoughts would be appreciated.
