[QUOTE="uncleB, post: 155258, member: 4679"] wildcat, The 105 scenars shoot very well but they have one huge problem, they do not expand at all. I have a gong that is 3/8" Hardox500 that has had 10's of thousands of bullets fired at it from 17gr 17hmr to 750gr 50bmg and they dont scratch or dent my gong at all. my gong has one hole in it from a Scenar and the most amazing thing is that it is exact bullet diameter. if you are going to shoot squirrels at 1000yds use the 107SMK's they at least expand a little bit. the SMK.s will shoot every bit as well as the Scenars but you have to measure them for bearing surface length and segregate, the Scenars you dont have to. but neither of the two has the B.C. of the Berger105 it is not over rated from the tests I have done but in a 6mm-284 needs a 5 or 6groove barrel. as far as the powders you listed they work great for 70-80grain bullets but for the 105-107's N165 or RL22 are the powders of choice.
