Has anyone run the "L" version versus the regular?
BCs are listed as different:
regular = .508
L version = .460

I’ve shot 155s through everything from mule deer to grizzly bears and they always worked. Love that bullet.

Well I started this re-cap so as of late I thought I would pass on a notion. Looking for an every day range/deer bullet I substituted 150 H SSTs as they cost a good bit less than 155 Scenars (that took about a $10 a box increase since last Fall )(?)
The gun is a FTR 308 30" so the groups are most always excellent. The combination best at 600 yards WAS 155 Scenar/ Varget. Wanting a higher BC I fell back on N190Accubond LR (a favorite in Krag s and about every '06 tried).
190s were not found well suited to the 1-12 twist. Or I was not willing to overload them to see if they might improve group size.
Some H 165SST s were tried for no good reason at 600 yards. 5 shot group was 2.49"...adding five more opened things up to 2.95" Benchmark was the powder in the Fed case 210M 165 SST combination.
'Took 14.5 MOA from a 100 yard zero. and the 100 yard zero is about 3 clicks Left to have a 600 yard zero.
I have been shooting handloads for forty years and it is still new to me.

Only sent a few through one cow elk. They work except for the neck shot which had a pencil in and out through tissue (no bone hit). First shot was hard quartering and ripped a 2 foot hole in opposite side with guts hanging everywhere.

155’s at 3200fps from my 300 wsm have killed a lot of animals and 1 per customer. It’s about the only bullet I even shoot in it anymore. Exact same for me. 300 WSM runs them at 3285 fps & I see no reason to use anything else. I could not be happier.

This guy was smoked with a 139 scenar from my 260 at about 100 yards. It totally destroyed his heart, turning it into mush and making the blood the brightest red I have ever seen. I think they work fine. However, he did run about 30 yards and every animal that I have shot with a amax bullet dropped in its tracks.
Being able to place your shot in the kill zone is more important in my opinion so if you have good dope then use the 155's.
