Lapua Silver Jacket SCENARs?

[thefitter]

I searched but could not find any info hear on the SJ SCENARs.

I'm going to order some 155 SCENARs in .308. Are the silver jackets worth the extra cost?

I just found something elsewhere on the net... are these Moly coated?

Re: Silver Jacket SCENARs?

I think that is there term for moly coating, correct me if im wrong.

I have shot the silver jackets before and they work well, then i switched to 175 smk non moly and the groups were really bad, then back to the SJ 155 again and it didnt start looking good until 20 or so rounds

Its my understanding that the jacket leaves some type of coating in the barrel that is ?throated out by regular rounds

YMMV
