Josh,
You may have already shared this, but what's your 139 scenar load in the 6.5 Creedmoor CTR?

139 out of my 20” 6.5GAP4S at 300 yards. Pass through, took half her heart and 30 seconds later down she rolled!

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Looks like you got yourself some good food for your family.
I hope your hunt was fun too.

That's awesome, and looks like some great times with family. Congrats on the kills, and thanks for sharing. Lapua Scenars work well for sure.

After 6 long days of looking for a decent buck to no avail I filled the freezer with a young buck. 139 Scenar out of a 6.5 PRC did the job just fine. 190 yards , shot high in the neck (didn’t want to damage any meat) but not quite an ear hole because I knew they had to check for CWD. The scenar severed the spine and kept on going. They shoot oh sooo good for me.

My next endeavor with the scenar will be of the 220 grain variety out of the 300 RUM...My son has a late trophy desert elk tag here in Idaho that opens Dec1...Time to put the smack down on a big bull.

That’s one of my favorite combos for accuracy in my 300 RUM. That bullet at 3050 worked well on a few deer last year. Never got the chance to try it on an elk though.
