Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Deceased via Scenar bullet pix please..

.260ai, was shooting the 139 at a pretty mild 2820 with H4831sc.

Snowy Mountaineer, I can see you have a lot of experience killing game with Scenars... have you found any difference, performance-wise on game, between the regular one and the "Scenar L"?

Thank you!

SnowyMoutaineer those are some nice trophies you’ve gathered up. Looking like that Scenar must work on game once in awhile😁. Nice photos thanks for posting. Congrats

Great stuff SnowyM.

139 gr. Scenar from my 6.5x47 Lapua at 434 yards.

Pretty buck with nice mass. What kind of terminal performance did you see?

Wow, nice brows. Details on your 6.5x47 load please.

Hit him mid-way in the shoulder ( just above and to the left of the leaf on him ). Penciled in, shredded part of the heart and made a golf ball size exit out of the oft-side. He dropped like the proverbial sack of hammers.

37.4 gr.'s Varget @2768 fps. 24" 8 twist Benchmark.
CCI-450
2.152 Ogive/.003 off the lands

7/08 and a 150 this AM for the girl. She's put her share of 123s and 139s in critters, but this is the first 150 I can recall.

292, slightly quartering away in the pocket. Exited mid shoulder off side with silver dollar size hole...

Noice!

Nice Josh!

Thank you. Currently using IMR4451 but that sounds like a good one to try next.

See nothing wrong with that.

The only L I have shot game with is the 136. I killed a mule deer buck at 590 yds with a 260ai. It seemed more explosive than the 139; first shot was in the boiler room but did very little vital damage. Second shot punched through to the heart/lungs and put him down but did not exit. Most of my 139 kills have exited. I quit using the 136 but I'd give the .284 150 L a whirl if I still had a small-medium 7. It shot well in the 7-08 I had but I never hunted it.

Here is one from this spring. 123gr scenar from a 6.5 Creedmoor Kimber Montana. The bear made it about 30 yards, just far enough to die in the creek.

I like that last pic elkchsr.

Nice bear also...

Thanks guys!

I have a little injury and have been in the house all day, I have wondered about these bullets and read the whole thread, ouch !!
A few thoughts and observations:
I had no doubt about the accuracy but I am surprised at what shows to be both good penetration up close and good expansion at distance with such consistency.
This consistent part is what has peaked my interest because I have used bullets that would do quite well but the next time maybe not so good. But this thread is about 7 years running and yet the same people like them during that time span, that speaks volumes!
Therefore I will be trying these in the 6.5 Creedmoor this year, maybe in my 264 and 308 as well.
Thanks, great info !
