Snowy, do you get exits on quartering shots?
Nice mule deer!
I shot one last fall with a 90 grain Scenar and it didn't exit. Worked great though regardless, 243 Win/150-200 yard shot.

Here's the only things I've killed with the 155gr Scenars. Pat has said they're a little harder than VLDs and dig deeper. My experience with them is minimal but that's my impression as well. Fairly big sow was about 125 yards at the shot. Solid heart/lung hit. She ran about 100 yards or so. VLDs don't generally exit a pig of any size, but then again, VLD shot pigs have not traveled nearly as far, if at all, as the one that I shot with the Scenar did. Coyote was about 165 yards IIRC. DRT. Will be using the Scenars some more this fall. Anxious to see how they do for me... John

Okay thanks, sounds about like my sample of one. I didn't dig around too much for fragments but judging by the wound, pieces of the bullet made it almost all the way through.
Nice critters all!

cwh2, Thanks for the compliment on the ram, but it pales in comparison to the rams you pull! Not to mention the respect I have for you guys that do it solo...
The rifle is a GA Precision NonTypical in 260. I did upgrade to the McMillan stock and used a Rock Creek barrel to shave some weight from the Bartlein barrel they spec. Scary accurate rifle...

Here's a couple that a 139 Scenar at 3400 fps put down. These are the first animals I've shot besides a prairie dog with the Scenar. I'd use this combo for just about anything. First one folded like he was stuck by lightning at 125 yards. Second went down after a Scenar crushed his shoulder at 350

In guessing you didn't look at any of the thread? Yeah, Tanner. Gobs of info and evidence that these bullets do work, and work well on game. So, the question becomes, "Why not". Like you, I don't understand the "Why" question... IMHO, DF As a die hard fan of Accubonds I bought a 1000 count box of .308 155's for my 300 WSM's based solely upon this thread info. About to start load development. Yes, I realize this is an old thread. Like The Word of God, the truth is timeless.

I don't think these Scenar bullets will shoot:

I'm bettin' that rifle will shoot anything.........so you need to hook me up with the .284 AB's you don't need.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
