Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 139 Scenar in 6.5 Creed

From the net.

Lapua has recently undertaken a major program to make these outstanding bullets even more accurate. Not with a redesign in ballistics, but a refinement in all manufacturing steps. Using state of the art manufacturing capabilities and decades of competitive experience, Lapua has set out to tighten all measures and requirements, including their already famous quality control standards. Closer weight tolerances, tighter jacket wall concentricity standards, and greater uniformity in every dimension, starting from the gilding metal cup, lead wire and jacket forming, ending up to core-jacket assembly, boat tail pressing and tipping. Several new proprietary machines, manufacturing steps and advanced instrumentations combined to the Scenar-L manufacturing line never seen before in bullet production.

I shoot scenars year round in several guns, from steel to hunting. My last 6 big game kills were with scenars...from 150 to 400 yards.

John, Is it possible to get hold of the article, maybe buying that Handloader issue online?

I used to be a suscriber but, not liking the new set up, I quit when the new website was launched

I shoot pigs (some pretty big ones at times) and deer with a 26 Nosler and 100gr Scenars with great success. 4k fps.... Works for me.
