I have tried several other powders like Reloder-15, AA2230 and Win 748, but I always came back to Varget; very easy to work with. (Sorry TooDogs, I could not resist busting your chops.)

Kansas45, is it possible that you are talking about the Lapua Scenar (pronounced see-nar) bullet? I can't find the Sencor at the Lapua site. How is that bullet working out for you? I've heard of a few pople using it and I was wondering.

I've heard of a few pople using it and I was wondering. S C E N A R Yeah, THATS IT! Now, if I could only shoot as good as I can spell I'd have it made. Really though, Shooter. They work very well out to 1000 yds. I don't go that far very often, choosing to stay at 600 & under. I need some more experience before I feel comfortable at the 1000 yard mark. I do have a buddy that runs this bullet at 1000 and does pretty good with it. My .308 is a Tikka T3 Varmint with a 24" barrel & he shoots a Tikka Tactical with the 20" barrel.
