Lapua Scenars

[Ruger007]

What is the consensus on these bullets? Looking at the 6.5 139 or 136 and the 308 175.


How do these compare to say the Sierra's?

Thanks

I shoot the 6.5 123’s. Very accurate

 

[BCBRAD]

I shoot the 136L's and 105L.

3 shot groups @ 100m, a couple in the 0.1's when testing loads. 260 Rem

The 105's are good for 1/2 moa 5shot groups at 1000y.

BC's aren't as good as some others but consistency in manufacture is hard to beat.

Scenars have always shot very well for me.

The Lapua 6.5mm 136gr Scenar-L is the most accurate bullet I loaded in my 6.5 SAUM with a Krieger 8.5 twist.
I've seen a better actual G7 number than what Lapua has listed.

Litz has tested the 136 L @ .285 G7

This bullet shoots great in my Tikka CTR 6.5cm

I have them in many calibers. The gun decided if it liked Lapua scenars or Nosler Custom Competitions best.

Lapua bullets work very well. Old school so don't have the sleekest shape but they reach the target just fine.

In the 6.5 cal, the top three options are Berger, Lapua and Sierra. Which one works best in your rifle? You gonna have to test... but odds are, all will work well so it boils down to your choice/preference.

If I can help, let me know Thanks
