You guys hunting with 30 cal 155 Scenars: what kind of terminal performance could I expect when impact velocity is 2000 and below? Trust them.....they work better than good.
Luck....is the residue of design...

Pat, good to see you posting. Just read a PM frpm our good bud, Hi_Vel. He got his Reticle Tru patented. I congratulated his hard work. Scenars: You and Stick both saying to go with them... I'm sold. Using 139's in my 6.5x55 and am going to load some 155's in my .308. I like what I see so far. Will report. DF

Don't overlook the 123's in 6.5, good BC for that weight bullet, and accurate too.

I was avoiding light weight Scenars for deer after 90 gr. .240 loads were way too explosive, but they were moving pretty fast. Pat sent me some 105's to try but my 10 twist .240 wouldn't stabilize them. A 9+ twist .243 Rem wouldn't either. Probably need an 8 twist or so.

Curiously enough,great componetry allows for great results.(hint) So when finding THE powder,it's at 550yds in stiff winds? Looking forward to even more humor!..................

805,
You are GOLDEN in latitude...well done.
For bloodspill,I'd take the 'Max over the Berger(s). For distant dastardly pursuits without heartbeats,the Hybrid really is a wicked bastard.
Bang for the buck and connecting all dots,Hornie HPBT..............
