I have never used them so I gotta ask. Do these bullets expand at long range, and hold up at short range? Also were they meant for game?

Fotis, you need to read the caption under each pictures. Many are close, more are far, seldom are bullets recovered.
Damn fine pics Pat. Love the rifles and the pics. I bought a thousand of the old style 175 grain Scenars in .30 caliber. I tried them in a couple of proven .30-06 rifles. I couldn't get them to shoot worth two short hoots and sold them. I figured for the money, they would be stellar performers. I have had such good results with the Amax's that I hate to change, but I do love experimenting. Flinch

Another antelope that was "Lapua'ed" with a 250gr scenar at 3100fps. That bullet has a G1 BC of .675. It shoots pretty good way out there. scenarshooter, what has been your experience with the 338 cal 250 Scenar. I did some extensive testing with them in 2004-05 and found them to be quite an anomaly, they dont expand on anything at any distance or velocity. obviously your 155gr 30 cal's do expand, I wonder if Lapua uses different metalurgy on the jacket of this bullet

Sorry about that. I was logging in from a pc that does not allow any access to photobucket and some others.

I wonder if the large hollow area of the bullet allows for the jacket to collapse on top of the core, holding in more intact than some other cup and core bullets??? Just wondering...

I think I'll try a few myself. That big hollow nose cavity and Pat's success with various critters at long ranges has me intrigued. Thought I'd load up some Hornady 150 gr. Interlock BT's, some 150 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips and some 155 gr. Scenars and see how they fly in the wind way out there. Time to dust off the .308's and try something new in the custom '06 anyway. Heck, might give me an excuse to rebarrel my M70 Fwt. with a better, longer barrel for such things. E

Yep- worked up a 123g Scenar load w/ RL19 for the Swede this spring. They shoot lights out- way out there. I'll be pointing them at critters this fall.

If your barrel is 1-8" or 1 8.5" you should give the 139's a try. They shoot well in my GAP Crusader .260. The 123's shoot damn good too.
Luck....is the residue of design...

It's supposed to be a 1/8" according to the seller and he says it did slightly less than MOA with Black Hills 139gr Scenar stuff. I guess I should just start with that bullet and I'm guessing H4350?
Now if my scope would just come in, been on order for well over a month...

A couple of posters mentioned the Bergers. I wonder if the nose profile delays expansion like the Berger, might help explain the deep penetration. Assuming that they do expand instead of tumble.
Sure would like to see a recovered one.

They shoot great in my 308 and scenarshooter has more than enough proof they work but I would like to see a recovered bullet too. Something about shooting a target bullet into game..
