[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 94876, member: 2852"] [ QUOTE ] I guess the terminal effects of 250grain Sierra Match King are quite identical with Scenar since the structure of these bullets is very similar [/ QUOTE ] Actually, they have quite different designs. The MK's have a very small cavity underneath the hollow point and the Scenars have a huge cavity. Also, the lead core inside is shaped differently on top in the Scenar. For what this shape is for I haven't quite figured out but it is notable. Here is a pic I took after sawing the MK, Scenar, and Accubond in half: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/goodgrouper/3bullets.jpg[/img] Also, obviously I haven't measured every caliber and weight of either bullet, but on the 338 caliber, <font color="blue"> the Scenar puts the MK to shame in every category of consistency. </font> They are better in weight, better in length, and better in meplat flatness. I have measured countless types of bullets throught the years and can honestly tell you that the 250 grain .338 Scenar is the best bullet I have ever measured from lot to lot. As for how they perform on game, I have never shot a big game animal with either but I will be soon. I will be putting the 300 grain MK to the ultimate test in a few days, and the Scenar will be sinking into critter in a couple months. I will be sure to share with you my findings. Have a good one.
