Hunting & Fishing 338 Lapua Magnum 250 grain Scenars

[Arif]

Does anyone have a picture of 250 grain Scenar retrived after a kill, i just wanted to see how it expands when used on game. I plan on using the Scenars on hunting trips and wanted some feedbak


Thanks in advance

I've used that bullet out my .338LM the past few years on elk, mule deer and antelope and have not recovered a single one. The exit holes on both elk we shot with it this fall were about golf ball size. Ranges have been from 40 meters to 800+ with the same results..

so i should not have any concerns in using the Scenars on game, were they all one shot kills?

Every critter I've shot with it has died quickly and cleanly. I wouldnt hesitate to shoot anything we have to hunt here.

Re: 338 Lapua Magnum 250 grain Scenars

Thank you for your feeback everyone. From what I heave read and seen on videos, high sholder shots work well with tagget bullets and since the Scenars are harder bullets then most sould work better.

i just wanted to make sure before i go out on a hunt of a lifetime

I dont know, sounds like it worked fine.

He was dead on his feet with the first round and was in a real nice spot </div></div>

Moose seem to soak up bullets all the time. And the two Barnes that were fired didn't do too well either, maybe it was a particularly hard Moose? or it had the Bermuda triangle of vitals.

The next two pills were Barnes MRX 250 Gr, Both gave a big old smack. I dont know what Barnes round I found but I'll post a pic of it and it did not perform well at all, other then killing the moose I guess. </div></div>
