BC is very close. Can you push that bullet at 2900 or faster? If not, it will drift more in the wind and not shoot as flat.

Well good grief how many things can you ask that same question about? I don’t think this was a thread claiming it was the best or only good bullet. These guys are just saying it’s a good one.

Actually this was a thread started almost 9 years ago that Hanco bumped just so he could say he was getting some of them.

My 308’s run 2900 fps with the 155 Scenar. It has been one shot kills on some Jimmy Dean grade hogs for a couple of years. They run 3285 in my 300 WSM.

I’m gonna try them when I get them in my hands. Anybody have some large rifle magnum primers. I’ll trade the old worn out Wifey for a hundred.

They are well thought of, nobody bashing them. I’ll
try them on some piggies. They are good for bullet testing.

Not only that, but at .308 velocities and longer distances it'll upset more reliably than a 168 Barnes. I've seen the 168 fail to open inside 100 yards out of a .308.
