Re: 185 grain Scenar's for my .308 I shot a few loads, 175 MKS and 185 Scenars, just to try them out. I shot two 5 shot groups @ 200 yards with N550 @ 43.5 grains = .75 inches This load had a LO vel @ 2546fps, HI Vel @ 2574fps AVG. Vel 2557fps. SD was 28 and SD was 11, I liked this load. 2...

Re: Wanting a new long range set-up. I have a Savage 10 FCPHSLE, and use it in Mid Range F T/R. I load it will 155 grain Scenars Lapua's, 175 matchkings, 185 grain Scenar Lapuas. All with smoke'in results. Savage has the best bang for the buck. With the floating bolt design, no money has to...

Re: 185 grain Scenar's for my .308 Thanks guy's, this info helps. I only have N540, N550 and N140 powders. I was given some 175 grain sierra matchkings last night. I am going to try to load 175 and 185's and see what works best with the powder I have. And shoot them this weekend. I jump the...

Has anyone used Lapua's 185 grain pills for .308 with a 24" 1:10 twist barrel? I ran out of the 155 Scenar's, and was just given a full box of the 185's. I hope to use the powder and primers I have on hand, N140, Fed 210 primers, and Lapua Brass. I hope to have the same amount of luck with the...

Re: match bullet for 1000y that will act like vmax I use 155 BTHP Scenars on deer and hogs. All of the ones I have hit end up in the freezer, and are D.R.T on the spot with a nice exit wound. This is the same handload I use in the F T/R class. My 2 cents....

Re: Flatter shooting vs windage effects My load for F class T/R is 155 Lapua's Scenars @ 2800 fps. I shot a 94-3x @ 500 meters. My barrel is only 24 inches long 1:10 twist. This pass Saturday was my first time loading Lapua pills. They shot fine for me. I going to keep load testing with them...

Re: scope for my hunting rifle I think you would be really happy with a Zeiss Conquest, I know mine has never let me down. Great hunting and target scope.
