Pat, what kind of terminal performance did you see at that close of range? The bullet was lodged under the hide on the off side. It entered the base of the neck where it joins the right shoulder, passed through that, went through the heart/lung cavity, and broke the left shoulder before stopping. It was still in one piece, and wasn't separated. He went straight down, rolled twice, and never moved. The buck absorbed all 3000 foot pounds of energy. One of the quickest kills I've ever seen.

Not that it truly matters, but, how are we going to learn if these 155 Scenars are bonded?
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

I don't believe Scenars are bonded, but they are thicker jacketed than Berger bullets, hence as Pat said, he found the bullet. On a Berger all you find is pieces of the bullet, usually with tremendous internal damage. My boy shot a big buck with 155 Scenars at 320 yds in a 308. It exited the off side shoulder with about a 2" hole.

The Scenars are softer than the Sierra Match King. Open up better. the Scenars, are in turn, harder than Bergers.

I have been using Sierras 120/123 gr 6.5 mm for shooting hogs and have had great results with them. I bought some 123 gr. Scenars to try and wanted to know the relative differences.
I have some Bergers but haven't gotten them to shoot in this gun, 6.5 Rem Mag. I think the neck/leade ogive length relationship is such that I can't load them far enough out to keep the bullet from being off center when they engage the rifleing.

About 1/2" exit, I believe the pelt is at the tannery now. Not like this, also a 123 Scenar.... the one that soured me on shooting them at coyotes/vermin.

I'm bettin' that rifle will shoot anything.........so you need to hook me up with the .284 AB's you don't need. I still have to feed my 280 AI. It has not fallen from grace yet.
