Scenars , jump, jam or touch?

[Kelly Timoffee]

For those of you that are using Scenars..............

What has been the most successful distance that has worked for you??

I am touching the lands with about .020" to .030" to go before I do not fit the magazine so it is looking like I will have a useable mag length cartridge but am wondering where most loaders are finding the best accuracy.

I load for two rifles with the 155 -308s. Best is about 25 thou off. It seems to depend on the rifle.

My last conversation with the Lapua master distributor on the topic of Scenars - he advised small jump. That is consistent with advice on other VLD designs.

My load with 155 is with a minimal jump of 0.010 for stellar result... JP.

 

[Kelly Timoffee]

Well , did my measuring and figuring.

Gonna go with just touching for a start , the marker just barely got removed from the bullet when I chamber a round,see where that gets me.

Jam or jump, never noticed much difference with my Coyote.

Toolman, are you using "Palma" small primer brass? I was told it can handle higher pressure loads. The maxium load I can use in my Coyote is 45 grains of Varget before it starts blowing out primers on Winchester large primer brass. Anyone else have this problem?

No, that load is with winchester brass. When using lapua brass I use 47grn of varget. Keep in mind that I moly coat my scenars.

Thanks Toolman, I'll have to try moly coated bullets.

With 300 gr Scenars in my 338 Lapua 0.015" off the lands works for me

second that! my Timberwolf likes 15 -20 off the lands. but I'm using 250 Scenars with 94.7 gr. H1000

Well, just did my ladder test with a 0.006" jump, so far, no reason to change, further testing is now on the way at that distance.

My .260 seems to like .020" jump with 139's
