The 155 Scenars run 2900 fps in two of my 308’s @ 1/2 moa

The Lapua Scenars seem to be decent target / hunting bullet. Not the greatest ballistic coefficient projectile, but the scenars produce great accuracy and easy to load for. Myself I’m currently using the 6.5 mm 136’s and 7mm 180’s.

Maybe not the highest BC but looks like a great combination of a HIGH BC and terminal performance !

Killed a Muley and a Whitetail last season with the 139 Scenar

.264 Winchester First Whitetail Hunt ever for me. Good Eating!!!

That's a heck of a nice deer.
Congratulations!!

Just wanted to give this thread a bump. I have some 155's ready to go for a t3 308 and am going to try to find some 150's for a 7mm08.

I sure hope the 155’s still work because I’ve got them shooting crazy tight groups in my 06. Will be used for all critters in Colorado this coming year. Only bummer is that the BC’s originally advertised for this bullet are actually quite a bit lower but with the accuracy I’m getting from them it’s hard to think twice.

They have really good BCs in light-for-caliber bullets like the .308 155 and .264 123. Which are just the ticket for mild cartridges like the .308 and .260.

I just finished working with 155 scenars in my 308 win 20" barrel. 46.5grs. Varget, Winchester case, .020" OTL / 2.804" . Only getting 2760 avg speed. They are shooting great so far. However, 155 Sierra Palma 2156 shoot same POI and speeds.

Their is another higher node at 47.8grs, but its full to the top of neck. Speed is around 2840 fps. The 46.5 shoots best for mid range stuff.

I get 2950 with Varget and a 24" barrel.

Color me confused. I've shot a bunch of these through my .308, 26" barrel, 46.5 gr of Varget. Forget speed right now, but great little groups.
One deer had no lungs and guts blown out of a hole in the bottom. The next deer I shot fell instantly, about 30 seconds apart, almost same shot placement.
An antelope this year was shot through the lungs, a little on the back end and blew her guts out all over the place.
Both were recovered, but I hate seeing them run a little bit with guts hanging out, then lay down and not present a shot.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong of if I just have some bad luck.
I've got two boxes of 1000, tips look different, one is a wider aperture than the other.few
I've reached out to Kevin at Nammo/Lapua and he originally said he'd send the pics to his guys in Sweden, but hasn't been heard from since, despite a few reminder emails.
I may be selling quite a few here shortly, although they are fun to practice with as they are great target punchers.

Got some of the 123 scenars heading my way - mule deer and cow elk on the agenda this fall. Hope to be posting pics in late October!

I am loading 155 Scenars over 48.5 gr Varget at 2900 fps using Lapua cases in my 308’s.

I have a 16" barreled 308 on the way, will be trying to get at least 2700 fps with Varget, Lapua cases and BR-2 primers, hope to see firsthand the job these Scenars do to deer and pigs later this year.

How does the 308 win 155 HPBT compare to the 308 150 NBT on game.

I dream of deer like that! Congrats on a great looking buck!

Here's a scenar'd Colorado buck from last week:




I shot him with my .260 at 220 yards, the bullet was a 123 and should have been travelling about 2,650 fps. The entrance was tiny and hard to find, and here is the exit, about 2 1/2". Lungs were jell-o:

Just out of curiosity, have any of you tried ELD-M to compare? I have a personal bias toward Hornady, likely because I can buy quality loaded ammo reasonably. I'd be curious how they compare. These Scenars are definitely getting my attention though. I'd be curious how penetration compares. I have to imagine a 147 ELD would be very similar to the 139. And a 155/168 ELD would compare similarly to the 155 Scenar?
