Have you tried the Lapua 155 Scenar? How’s that work?


I haven't seen or tried this bullet, but it looks like the nose is too long and pointed to work well. The only polymer tip bullets that I've tried that works well is the #30303 Hornady SST and the 110gr V-MAX

Also haven't tried the Lapua Scenar, but I think you will have the same issue.

Basically all of the really pointed bullets end up seating the .308 dia of the bullet below the case mouth to stay under 2.260" for magazine fit which also forces the bullet to have quite a jump to the rifling which usually kills accuracy. This also makes them take up a lot of powder space.

Didn't I post my 31 suitable bullet list with COL #s on this thread at some point? With 31 choices surely everyone can find a bullet choice to meet their need.....
