Scenarshooter, what kind of rifle rest is that with the A-frame of metal with the cartridge storage up front?
Looks nice.
What kinda load are you using with the 155's? What kinda speed you getting with em?
Thanks

That's a little deal I make from aluminum plate, brass hinges, leather and a nylon draw string.

In my .308's I use:
Lapua brass
Hodgdon's Varget
Wolf LRM,CCI BR2,or Fed 210M primers.
5 thou. jump.
Bearing surface will vary a bit from lot to lot, so dont forget to always check it. Learned this the hard way....grin!

I'm getting between 2925 and 2950fps in three different barrels. All three are 1-11". Bartlein 5R@ 26", Krieger MTU@ 26" and a Rock #3 @ 24". The Bartlein and the Rock are really fast barrel's and I've pushed a few test loads beyond 3000fps. My ES is lower at 2950 or so and brass holds up better as well.

We started out with 58.0grs H4350 and worked up and stopped at 3000fps(best ES and groups)At around 3050fps the bolt lift was getting stiff.
Lapua brass
Fed 210M

Antelope buck shot with an '06 and 155gr scenar with that load.

Thanks for the load data. That's great speed from the 24" tube. Hope I can get mine up there.
Love the rifle rest looks like load data on one side and ammo loops on the other. I'm gonna build one this week.
Piano hinge on either side???
Looks like it would fold up nice and carry well with the little seat I usually carry with me.
Got any close up pics of it?
Also are you running the moly coated bullets or straight copper bullets??
Thanks a bunch.
Love your pics!!!

My pal and a buck he took with his Surgeon .308 at around 600 meters using the scenar. He made a great shot in a 20mph+ cross wind.

[Linked Image]

My uncle from Iowa with his first buck. The shot was 287 meters with my Surgeon .308 and 155. We recovered that bullet from the off side. the Core was intact and not seperated from the jacket. One of the few scenars I've ever recovered.

[Linked Image]

This buck was less than 200 meters...155 went right through on a broadside rib shot.

Can you suggest a good source for scenar load data? I have a .300 WM Sako TRG. Light bullets? 180gr + bullets?

My youngest with his first double...shot from the ridge above his head with my Surgeon .308 and 155's....a day I'll never forget. We watched these coyotes come up the draw from more than a mile away. The first shot was 200 meters, the second was right at 300.

I've taken over 700 coyotes with that bullet and have never had one stay in. Even on lengthwise shots. They really penetrate.

I've got a few left...last fall .308, 155 from 320 meters. It was getting dark and I wanted him anchored right there so I shot for the front shoulders. The bullet passed through and he dropped right there.

[Linked Image]

300gr scenar from a .338LM. I'm thinking it was under 200 meters.

[Linked Image]

Exit on same cow...

He used the same rifle and load for this mule deer buck with the same results.

The newest VihtaVuori reloading manual(#4) has quite a bit of scenar bullets listed in their testing....course its all their powder only. And thats not a bad thing. VV powder is pretty damn good. I use it in my .338LM.
