I have heard about the Scenar, but not much about the Mega or Naturalis.
Anybody used these in a rifle? How about accuracy and performance on game?
I am interested in the .30 cal 150 and 185s along with the 6.5mm 155 grain bullets.
Thanks!

I've tried teh 155 grain bullet in my 6.5x55 Swede without finding an accurate load; haven't found one yet....but my rifle seems to prefer lighter bullets for some reason, esp. the 129 grn Hornady spire point.

My 6.5x06 also prefers lighter bullets. Problem is a 1-9 twist. I think the 6.5x55 military barrel's are a 1-71/2 twist and handle the heavy bullet's very well. My 6.5x55 is a newer mod 70 and handles up to 140 gr bullet's well. No heavier bullet's than that around here. If I wanted to go to 150 gr bullet's I'd go to a 7mm of some kind.

My 6.5x55 has an 1-8" twist.
Think it would work?

160 grain woodleighs shoot great in my 8 twist. 155 should be fine.
