Scenars for hunting

[jbroadnax]

I have a 6.5wby that is really having problems shooting the 140 Bergers consistently. Just for kicks I loaded some 139 Scenars using the same 68grs of Vit 560 and it shoots 1/4" groups every single time. Any experience with using Scenars for hunting? Specifically for whitetails.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Scenars for hunting

Scenars work great for hunting. 2 years ago I shot a doe through the vitals with 250 gr. Sierra Gameking and the exit hole was the same size as the entrance hole. Decided to try using 300 gr. scenars and shot a buck with them through the vitals and the exit hole was almost big enough for me to stick my hand through. Been using scenars for everything ever since. Shot placement is key and that shouldn't be an issue if you're shooting 1/4" groups.
