Lapua Scenar 6mm bullet diameter?

[ffgats]

Hi
Anyone has this bullets( new gen) the bore of my upcoming barrel blank( KS Arms) .237”, would be helpful to know before I start buying Lapua’s 6mm 90 - 105 gr. bullets. Thanks, read that Scenars are little bit thinner compared to Berger and SMK.

I bought a couple of boxes of the newest 6mm 105 grain Scenar
from Peter Dobson at Hirsch Precision.

I just measured a couple...consistently .2431"
according to my electronic Vernier micrometer. Regards, Dave.

3 ten thousands of an inch could easily be the difference in measuring tools/methods. - dan

Dan, was thinking about that too, but it was not measured by just one person, I guess will have to get a few pcs myself to find out, looking for some Lapua ammo thats pack by 20’s

ffgats, Lapua ammunition except for .338LM and Naturalis ammo is sold in boxes of 50.

Regards,

Peter

Both are 105 scenars. There is a difference between the old and the new.
