Found an awesome load for this Bullet in my Creed. Wanted to hear about how it performed on game. Thinking about running it for my Wy and Texas trips this yr. I know Scenarshooter sure has some awesome luck with it but wanted to see some other members results.
Thanks Roy

I’m using that combo for Antelope and Deer this year, if they kill half as good as they shoot, I’ll be happy. Very accurate load.

I need to try me some of these bullets one day in my creedmoor rifles...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

DF I got a story to tell you guys about some Hornady ELD-match bullets coming apart in the Creed here recently... Bad lot or something. Thinking about trying the scenars.....

That Savage barrel must be one cobbly son-gun to tear those bullets up like that!

DF You mean Creed, right? Creed prefers 123 Scenar over Varget. Swede prefers 139 Scenar and 155 Mega. It’s a Lapua snob and in Lapua brass. DF

My tikka T3x loves RL26 and the 139. Well under 1/2” moa. ES of 6 with 4 of 5 shots being same velocity. That was new brass. Will load and shoot a 10 round group to check accuracy and ES again. Then will see how fire formed brass does.

RTSJ I’ve used if successfully on Roe, Boar, Red Deer & Elk. 90% exit from 50 yds to over 500 yds, and all one-shot kills. Very accurate bullet & easy to load for. My rifle gets 2840 fps with ~42.5 gr of Re17 & BR2 primers. Excellent all-round choice for hunting!
