What powder do you use to reach that velocity if you don’t mind me asking? Not that I can go out and get it if I don’t already have it.


I am using Reloader 26 out of a 24” barrel tikka. I run the 135 bergers at 2960 and the 139’s at 2890.

Thank you. Maybe it won’t be too terribly long before things become available again. I’m in good shape on what I need but I would try 26 if it was setting around.

308 Winchester 155 gr Scenar at @ 2900

300 WSM 155 gr Scenar @ 3285

Each shoot under 3/8” at 100 yards consistently & have delivered one shot kills thus far.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

The 155 Scenar that I shot out of my .30-06 at about 2800 delivered very poor expansion on ribcage shots on large feral hogs. Some traveled a pretty good piece before expiration. Like 300-400yards. These shots were 200+ yards and most were hit a little high. Quit using them and went to 1800 SST and 180 Speer RN for better results. The Scenar was very accurate.

Will the 155 Scenars take a bit of a jump to the lands and still be accurate? I've set my Remington .308 barrel back one thread (0.0625") but its still got a long throat but .0625" less than originally.

I had them shoot pretty well in a factory 24" 700 5R over RL15 at close to 2,900fps. They were loaded around 2.9" in a DBM, if I recall. Fairly long jump.

They’ve shot excellent in ARs for me at 2.8.

I picked up some TAC and CFE-223, I’m going to try some just for fun. Kinda hard to beat Varget in a 308 Win.
Take care

It is hard to get on this sight sometimes, but there are nuggets that make it worthwhile.
