[QUOTE="dr.frank338, post: 2047534, member: 107942"] I used Scenars extensively for hunting in Europe and Africa. Till say 10 years ago there was not serious long range hunting bullets in Europe, and Scenars or Matchkings were the only way for high bc. I strongly do NOT recommend them for lr hunting. My experience goes from 450 meters kudu 338 lapua Scenars 250, to 300 WM, WSM, 308 with 180 and 167, 6,5-55, 6,5-284 with 139 and 136L. It is a hard bullet, quite erratic in terminal performance. When it does (!!!), less than 300 mt or 200 with 308, it will fragment in 6-7 pieces, but loosing a half of the mass. Go 100% with Eldm, 143 or 147, did not test Atip yet. [/QUOTE]
