My last 7 kills have been with a 6.5 scenar, five with a 123, two with a 108. Big fan so far...

I can't comment on that bullet through personal experience, but seeing how the 155's in the same diameter work at reasonable velocity, I'd give it a go. I can't comment on that bullet through personal experience, but seeing how the 155's in the same diameter work at reasonable velocity, I'd give it a go. Thanks for the info. It looks like 155 Scenar were discontinued and replaced with 155 Scenar L. I’ve read they are the same bullet but held to higher tolerances. Is there any on game performance difference that you or anyone else knows of? I found a good load the other day and when I checked my box of bullets they are the standard non L Scenar. Hoping the L will shoot just like the standard Scenar

Pat,
How do you like the RPC over the Creedmoor? I don't own a 6.5 Creedmoor, but I have two 6.5 PRC's, and they both really deliver. My latest PRC is a lightweight build that weighs 7.5lbs all up, including the suppressor. It has a 20" barrel, and produces 3000fps with the 139LS, using R26. I'll be using it this spring for black bear, and next fall for everything. Will be watching for the thread on your new rifle!

Does anyone have experience with 155 Scenar expansion between 1800-1950 FPS?
I’m going to try to test it out on ballistic gell but wanted to see if anyone has on game experience from 1800-1950 FPS

How do les the scenar hold up if hitting bone? Just ordered a couple hundred 139’s to try out in my 6.5 tikka. I have a bunch of RL-16 and RL-26 to play with.

I’m going to try to test it out on ballistic gell but wanted to see if anyone has on game experience from 1800-1950 FPS I shot a cow two seasons ago at 615 yards using my 20" Broadside shot. Entered the shoulder and was caught in the offside hide. Velocity was under 1900 according to my dope card. Worked perfectly fine as always. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/C4wmqRU.jpg)

Mackay, I pmd you about your 20" velocities. Anyone else shoot these out of a ~20ish inch barrel? I'm planning on loading some up for my 18" (closer to 19") Gunsite Scout, and am hoping to get to 2800fps with decent accuracy.

My 18" 30-06 lobs the 155 scenar out at a rather pedestrian 2800 or slightly lower. Super accurate and killed a good bull at 400 yards. Bought 300 of the Lapua 155 L version for $39.99 per 100 recently. Expect same out of them. Sure I am leaving speed on the table but I just add clicks as needed.
