Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 6.5 139 Scenar

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 can’t believe know one has asked this question before....

For your viewing pleasure....

Deceased via Scenar thread.....

Thanks Dogshooter!


Roy

I need to try me some of these bullets one day in my creedmoor rifles...

They sure do work well in my Swede over MRP.

DF

You mean Creed, right?

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!

Ha ha.. Yeah, mathman would agree with you there..

Creed prefers 123 Scenar over Varget.

Swede prefers 139 Scenar and 155 Mega. It’s a Lapua snob and in Lapua brass.

DF

Ha ha.. Yeah, my swede likes that Lapua brass too....

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.


Roy

Thanks for that info. Haven’t tried that combo but have the components.

DF

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!
