Who would rather sacrifice the bc to still shoot the scenar vs. the eldm out of their 6.5 creedmoor? Let's say they have the same 100yd group potential and low velocity spreads.

I'm sitting on a pile of hornady bullets, but I haven't heard of the scenars not being super consistent.
 
I'm shooting 140 ELD-Ms. Not super enthusiastic about the front falling off sometimes. I had a batch that I dropped on the floor and the tips broke on like 6 out of 100.

But I have also had my best scores shooting the 140s this year so...take that for what you will. Just don't drop the Hornadys.

I would...and did...the 140eldm shot pretty good in my 47 but not consistently good if that makes sense...I’ve honestly never had consistent good luck with Hornady bullets and bergers shoot fantastic but are a PITA to get at times...lapuas are always in stock somewhere.
I’m not shooting the 139s but I am shooting the 123s...I borrowed a 100 from a buddy and after my load development in this new barrel I ordered 2k...3010-3020fps pretty easy and they are very consistent even from lot to lot...the added bonus...like shooting a 223.
