Snowy Mountaineer, I can see you have a lot of experience killing game with Scenars... have you found any difference, performance-wise on game, between the regular one and the "Scenar L"?
Thank you!

Pretty buck with nice mass. What kind of terminal performance did you see? Hit him mid-way in the shoulder ( just above and to the left of the leaf on him ). Penciled in, shredded part of the heart and made a golf ball size exit out of the oft-side. He dropped like the proverbial sack of hammers.

7/08 and a 150 this AM for the girl. She's put her share of 123s and 139s in critters, but this is the first 150 I can recall. 292, slightly quartering away in the pocket. Exited mid shoulder off side with silver dollar size hole...

Thank you! The only L I have shot game with is the 136. I killed a mule deer buck at 590 yds with a 260ai. It seemed more explosive than the 139; first shot was in the boiler room but did very little vital damage. Second shot punched through to the heart/lungs and put him down but did not exit. Most of my 139 kills have exited. I quit using the 136 but I'd give the .284 150 L a whirl if I still had a small-medium 7. It shot well in the 7-08 I had but I never hunted it.

I like that last pic elkchsr.

I have a little injury and have been in the house all day, I have wondered about these bullets and read the whole thread, ouch !! A few thoughts and observations: I had no doubt about the accuracy but I am surprised at what shows to be both good penetration up close and good expansion at distance with such consistency. This consistent part is what has peaked my interest because I have used bullets that would do quite well but the next time maybe not so good. But this thread is about 7 years running and yet the same people like them during that time span, that speaks volumes! Therefore I will be trying these in the 6.5 Creedmoor this year, maybe in my 264 and 308 as well. Thanks, great info !
