I was wondering what kind of ballistics people are getting with the 139g Scenars and what rifle setup they have? If you could post load data, velocities, and barrel length I would much appreciate it!

hi
i have a ruger vt in 6.5 creedmoor 28in barrell,rifle basix trigger bedded action floated barrel fitted with a zeiss conquest 6-5x20-50 scope.
i load 41.2gr of ar2209 (australian rifle powder) your equivalent would be h4350
federal 210m primers
129sst hornady projectiles seated 30th of lands
i get 2746fps and 3shot groupes at 500yds of 2.053in when conditions are perfect.
these are a incredably accurate rifle and calibre and are certinally worthy of load devolopment.i allso emailed hornady who were most helpfull with load data.
hope you have as much fun with your rifle as i am having with mine GOOD LUCK.
