Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Deceased via Scenar bullet pix please..

Geez, this is bordering on depressing. I have some really nice other rifles besides my 308.

The pictures of her with her animals is very refreshing. Her smile is great in contrast to so many grown men I've seen that can't seem to muster even a smirk. I never have understood that. Too, her desire to hunt & shoot is also very inspiring for those of us who have no male offspring. It takes a bit more effort to entice the girls which are more apt to show disinterest in the shooting sports than boys.

So, I tip my hat to the young lady indeed.

This has been a fun thread to read through. Got my .308 coming, and some 155 scenars. IN allows 6 mm and .30 cal rifles for deer now, so the .308 will get used...

One from a few years ago.

90 Scenar/243

Nice one Sam.........

My 10 year old sons first elk... 450 yards 308 with 155 Scenar...

Nice work....

I am not opposed to a 308 by any stretch. But, it is just hard for me to wrap my head around its capability at range with no more speed than it produces.

CFE223 will get you close to 2950 in a 24" with a 155. Not so slow really. I expect PP2000MR would even do better as 2800 with 180 class bullets is pretty easy w PP2000

Shot this 100ish pound pig this weekend in Alabama with a 150grn ScenarL at 2900fps out of my 7mm-08Improved. Pig was about a 100yds, quartering slightly away. Made soup out of the lungs, broke the far shoulder and exited. Pig ran about 25yds through dense planted pines, left a trail of blood that looked like multiple spray paint cans had blown up in the woods! Continue to be impress with the 150 ScenarL's!



The other sow cut and ran before I got a shot off - the litter of piglets scattered like pool balls on a hard break!

I got this one at about 25yds as he foolishly charged the stand:



Missed a second running away at 130ish.

Wow!! Good thing you stopped him. No telling what kind of damage he could have done.

Bump to the top to see some 2017 pictures!

I'll play - very busy at work all through hunting season this year and barely got out to hunt. Day after Thanksgiving I had a very short hunt - had just parked the truck and was trying to decide where to go for a walk when this guy walked up before I had a chance to get my gear together. Tikka T3x Forest w/ Burris C4 Plus 3-9x40 / 30mm, 6.5 Swede and 139 Scenar - first game taken with a Swede and Scenar. 40 yard shot, tight behind shoulder and exited breaking offside shoulder. Exit hole was small - could just work a finger into it, lungs were completely liquefied and top of heart was gone. Did the typical run 30-40 yds and tipped over.

48.5 gr Varget/155 Scenar/ 2900 give one hole accuracy in my 22" Rem 700.

230 yds with a 123gr Scenar out of a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Nice, did you recover the bullet? Any details on the wound channel?

The bullet went in between two ribs, wiped out both lungs and took out a rib going out. Exit hole was about the size of a golf ball.

Thanks!

Elk, nice job..

Just wrapped a 7 day labor intensive load development session. The result was quite a treat.

Remington 700 308 Winchester
Sako Black 85 308 Winchester
Both of these guns group the 155 Scenar exactly the same, 1 ragged hole, to the same point of impact at the same velocity, 2900 fps. The guns could be swapped and the target would look the same.

Borden 300 WSM
155 Scenar @ 3250 fps, MOA @ 100 yards. Not as tight as I prefer but it doesn't do any worse.
150 Accubond @ 3285 fps, MOA @ 100 yards.
Both shoot same point of impact. Loads can be swapped with no change in point of impact.

I am actually pretty pleased all things considered. The Borden is wearing a Swarovski with turrets. It'll be my Antelope rig next time out.

DirtFarmer tells me that MOA is good enough. In fact, most of you discerning shooters tell me the same. I have had a hard time settling with MOA. I mush prefer 1/2 of that.
ScenarShooter leaves us no doubt the bullet will perform. I am looking very forward to finding out first hand.
