It's more about the indian than the arrow, but please, go on, keep talking about your arrows.

Beware the best Indian,with the best arrows...............(hint)

Indians and arrows...meh. Booze and diseased blankets, followed by welfare checks. Then the only hope is building casinos and selling fireworks.

They can only do the best they can,with what little they have to work with.

Have actually worked with a couple Good 'Un's,but they's few and far.............

Well, that's mighty white of you.

I'm at ease in being a Honky.

Hey I'm curious,what does some as stupid as you "do" for a "Living"?

Thanks!...............

We've been through this before. Any time you wanna match W-2's to see who comes out on top, let me know!!

Thanks!!

Love the Secret Squirrel stuff!...................

Interesting cut-away from another post.
7mm's L-R, 150 Scenar,180 Scenar and a 168 Berger

I'm going with the 155 scenars this year in my 300 wsm. They are running 3350 fps and sub 1/2 moa. I've used them for a while in 308 and they've been my go to bullet in my 1st gen Ti 30-06 so I thought I'd give them a try with a little more speed.

Well seeing as I'm no reloading expert, Im pretty impressed with my results with the 155 Scenar in my 30-06 paired up with H4350. Seeing as I'm shooting it out of a Tikka, kissin lands is no option. I loaded em as long as the mag would allow and still function reliably and it doesn't appear to be a handicap. I've got em right at 3.34 OAL and they're shooting less than an inch size groups at 200 yards. I Just hope they kill well as I've never shot these bullets before.

At 100 for 5

At 200 yards

My 30-06 seems to do pretty decent with the 155 Scenars as well.

I'd be first in line for .277 Scenars.

have shot sierra matchkings in .224, and .243. They are extremely accurate, but do not open up on coyotes or deer. Have had 3 deer shot with a .222 with match kings that had very small exit holes on the off side, one through the shoulder. Same on coyotes. I fixed this by simply going to the 55 gr. gkhp. Still good accuracy, and they open up like a hollow point would be expected to. have talked to guys that had the same experience with 30 cal match kings on game.

I didn't look back through the whole thread, but anyone have results on big game with 6.5 123's??

Thanks.

I have shot a fair amount of game, pigs and deer, with .224 and .308 matchkings from my competition rifles.. its what I had at hand. Have yet to loose anything. Or see any issues that would make me not use matchkings. Some perform better than others at times, but thats the case with every shot you make. The only "perfect" bullet performance I've seen over the years has been Barnes.

smokepole,

In a few weeks my .257SLR will become a 6.5SLR. I have 200 of them waiting to be fired at an expected 3,400 feet per second. I will let you know if no one else does.

Thanks Ringman. They shoot well in all my 6.5's, hopefully the same in yours but there's not a lot of information on game out there.

How long is the barrel going to be?
