I have a T3 lite (blued) in .243.... it has made hits to 1k, and does it pretty easily. 300-600 is its wheel-house though, and misses inside that range are rather infrequent. It weighs 7.4 lbs all up, with 3 in the mag..... and the only two groups I've shot at 100 yds with it are both under 1/2".
I'd love to give the 90 Scenars a whirl, and have a box here to try.... but the Vmax shoots like a champ, I have many boxes of them, they cost about half what the Scenars do, and I can find them at Walmart if necessary. Also, they should only give up about an inch at 500 in drift to the Scenar.
Like Travis.... I run the Lapua brass, but I shoot the 87 Vmax for steel and vermin at 3150 via H4350. I'd substitute the 90/95 NBTs (or 90 Scenar) for any deer/pronghorn work.
Here it is testing that load and shooting some dope the other day...

You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
