    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Bryant sorry to hear that. Not sure this will help, but something that has worked for me is taking the distance to the target, as exact as possible, knowing what your scope setting was moa or mils when you did get on target, along with all the other parameters being the same when you did the...

    Thanks Sat Cong, when I finally get it together I'll let you know and maybe you can teach me some more of what you know. AZ

    Your welcome Bryant, did you ever get a chance to finish this testing you were doing, just curious how it came out? AZ

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    I was going to finish the 500 yd testing and go forward with the 1,000 yd without adding anymore updates. After I finished this morning and what I saw, thought I would go ahead and put it in the update, I learned something new about this rifle and wanted to share. Was out at the spot about 6...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Follow up. Some will say make the loads faster and I thought about this and tried it, but for my rifle it just didn't seem to work. So I did some research about world class shooters and found this article. There may be some articles by Bryan Litz but wasn't able to find them, guess I should...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Thanks Sat Cong, it was fun. Almost ready with all three powder loads to go to 1,000. Here is hopefully the last update on the 500 yd distance. The weather was a balmy 60 degrees with a nice little gusting breeze from l to r, 7 to 12 mph coming in at about -40 degrees out of the NE, not a...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Latest update on the .308 Lapua Scenar L. The rain finally stopped and was able to get back out again. The first item was to take out the three loads I have been testing with the three powders and re-run speeds and double check scope zero, found some interesting results. Let's start with...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    E, I tried the in the lans at higher charges of powder when I first started developing the loads and to be quite honest had nothing that even looked like it wanted to work. That is one reason why I decided to try going back the other way and shorten them up. If you remember the whole point was...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Continuing on, sat down and crunched the numbers and this is what I came up with. Going to go back out and retry the same loads that shot the two inch groups at 500yds using the Varget and AA2495 and see what happens. Reason for this is, there was roughly 20 rounds fired between the last group...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Bryant below is a data loading chart link from Lapua's web site for the 175 Scenars, only showing what their recommended loads are for the different VV powders with the minimum and maximums from a 24" barrel. These are guide lines using specific brass or cases with their bullets and powders...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    As planned was up @ 4:30am truck was loaded and ready to go, so I went. (A little American humor):D Was able to get the target set up, have a little coffee and watch the sun come up, one thing about our sunrise and sunsets in Arizona, absolutely beautiful especially with the giant cactus and...

    Sharac, that will be great. Haven't tried the heavier bullets yet and would be interesting to see your results, I learn something new every day and am happy to be able to do so. Thanks for jumping in. AZ :D

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Emouse, I know your right, my problem is I shoot my Tavor a lot and sadly I am on a poor cleaning cycle because of it. The Tavor is more like an AK, run a show string through the barrel with knot in it soaked in WD40 and it will just keep on shooting.:p My bad. Luckily our season runs pretty...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Emouse, would you be willing to trade a little of your weather for a bit of ours. We get a bit of that in the winter but not as much as we would like. Excellent shooting, not sure how the 24" will do past 1,000 yds but if I can do a 5" group at 1,000 I'll be more than satisfied. I did run...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Went out Monday as scheduled and was able to do some more 500yd testing with the N540. The first pic is a recap of the 100yd results, the second is 500 yds with the same load as from the 100yd position, on this picture is a second load which appears to have done better. I am going to retry...

    Range Report 175 SMK unstable

    This may upset a few of the die hard Sierra users, which I am one for my 6mm. A friend called one night and asked if I had been checking my SMK 175 Match #2275 for my .308, I said no, he suggested I check the OG before loading because he was having a problem with his loads. I did and found the...
