Not saying they don’t work I just have no personal experience with them on game so I am asking, not compelling.


I don't have any experience with the Scenars, but for the velocity range of the 358 W, 35 Whelen and the 338-06 good old cup and core or Hornaday interlocks work great. Sierra bullets work just fine also. Been killing game for decades before the "premium" bullets hit the market. Now if your above 2800 fps or into the 3000 plus range then premiums would be in order.
