[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1193081, member: 83267"] I ran some bullistic gel testing on the 139 Scenar the other day. For white tail I would not choose that bullet as my first pick. I do think with good shot placement it would work just fine it just wouldn't be my first choice or second choice. I was pushing them at right about 2700 at the muzzle at 100 yards the bullet completely came apart but not right away it entered for 4-5" before compete failure which when it did happen happened very quickly. I think on varmints it would be a good choice up to coyotes maybe deer sized game. I also tested 140 Amax which was accually pretty good maybe 50% weight retention of the core very fast exspantion much faster than the Scenar and had a core that could drive deep if needed. The Hornady 143 VLD-X where hands down the best hunting bullet of those three I tested imo [/QUOTE]
