Chamberings were 6.5 Creedmoor and .264 Winchester Magnum

Every picture above on a Scenar killed deer appears to have no wounds, entrance or exit. I guess you just shoot close to the animal and it kills from sound wave shock, great bullets.

Took a cow elk this week with 155 scenar out of my 300 wsm at 363 yards. Took out the heart and punched through both sides.

The 123 Scenar out of a 6.5 Creedmoor?
If yes, can you share load data?
I’m looking for a load for Mrs Walter that doesn’t have too much recoil.

Has anyone used the 69 grain Lapua Scenar L .224” on deer sized game?
Too soft at normal hunting impact velocities?

Too soft at normal hunting impact velocities? If you’re going .223, I’d suggest the 77 TMK. Group over on Rockslide crush several elk every year with that set up pretty exclusively. Based on pics and their experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to put that into anything.

Brother shot a big-bodied whitetail at 283yds on Saturday with a 136 Scenar L out of a 6.5cm. Lung shot, and ran for 100+yds but I don't know how...the offside had a baseball-sized exit wound.

I see your lady is a Southpaw. Mine too. Kind of makes things difficult at times.

Add another to the list with the 7 rem mag 150 scenar combo- one shot at 622 yards dropped him stone dead. Baseball sized exit hole right below the spine. (Scenars = Killing Bullets 🤷♂️)
