Lapua makes a lot of different Scenars, Sparky.

I love the the 155s, the 167s, the 185s and the 250s.

Scenars can stand a little bit of a jump.

in theTRG42 338LM with the 300 Scenar and 93 grs Retumbo loaded to mag length is about .050 jump and they are extremely accurate at just over 2700 fps,,
I shoot the 123s in 6.5x47 with 38.5 grs RL15 and or Varget and they shoot about the same from .020 jammed to .020 jumped,,I load them .015 jumped and they really shoot good,,
 
Sorry,I am trying the 136 and 139 grain in 6.5 creed.
 
I use the 155's for F-Class and have tried them from .002 off the lands to as much as .015 and they preform about the same regardless of jump distance. You have to do your own testing for your rifle tho.
 
Brux, I use the 136L scenar in my creedmoor and it doesn't seem to matter where I seat them.
I started at 2.850" and now I'm all the way back to 2.785" and my pressure seems lower.
My load is 2763 fps out of a 28" barrel with a SD of 7. I'm using h4350.
 
I'm using the 139-gr 6.5 Scenars in my AR-10 chambered for 260 Rem. They're loaded to magazine length and seriously outshot the Berger 140-gr Hybrids, and Sierra 140 MK.
 
I am running the 139's in my 260. 42.5/H4350 gives me 2750 out of a Brux 22" barrel. Am jumping .030. The Berger 140's are a bit more accurate in my rifle.
 
I am running 123's in my .260, jumping 10/1000's and 136's at 2.800. Both shoot well. I am in the process of running 185's in my 300 just to see what they do. Jumpimng them 10/1000's as well.
 
Jump,no jump, does not seem to matter. They continue to impress me every time I work up a new load.
 
As others have mentioned, they don't seem fussy about jumping or being jammed. I'm running 136gr Scenar L in my 6.5x47 and it isn't fussy either way using ADI 2208 powder. Pointed a bunch to use in F-class later today and I've managed to half the size of the original point on them so I'll see if that makes any difference.
 
I have used many of the 123 grain Scenars in a 6.5 Grendel. As the rifle is magazine fed, I don't get anywhere close to worrying about the lands. They sure shoot good though.
