[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 537438, member: 15748"] Hey guys, sorry for the delay here, but just got back from the Nationals at Camp Perry. Still trying to dig out from all the backlog of emails and all that good stuff. Can't say precisely what the ogive of our Scenar 155 is, as that's considered proprietary information. Most bullet makers take the same approach here, and are a bit shy about releasing such specs. However, I'd be more than happy to pass along open sources specs which are already published and on the market. According to Bryan Litz's measurments shown in his Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting, he cites the radius of the Lapua 155's ogive as measuring 3.289", with the Berger 155.5s at 2.954". The Lapua's is a secant ogive, whereas the Berger's Fullbore appears to be a tangent, so it's not a straight across the board comparison based on radius measurement alone. More to the point are his BC figures for each; .464 (G1) or .237 (G7) for the Berger vs. .462 and .236, respectively, for the Lapua. For all intents and purposes, their ballistic performance is identical. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
