Anybody have the length for the 100gr 6.5mm Scenar?

Thanks

Thanks Jim.

I'm always interested in how different bullets react on game.

Seen these kills with the 155 Scenar? The pics start here and go on for several pages http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthr...pics/5013929/3 Check out the wide range of impact velocities. Looks like the empty tip folds and encloses/protects the core so it acts kinda like a mono bullet retaining it's weight. Might tumble too, kinda hard to say since not one had been found even on elk. Heck of a surprise to me I always considered the Scenar a target bullet only.

If the 100gr shared the same jacket with the 108 and 123 then it might have done double duty as a target and hunting bullet like the 155 gr Scenar does in .308.

Anyone have a link to gel tests of the 6.5mm Scenars?

Don't know why. I'll try it again.

There's a big WT deer and an antelope dropped with 139 Scenars too. I'm hoping to find out about the 100 and 108 though. This paragraph is cut from a Bill Alexander article.

"In ballistic gelatin tests, the Lapua 108-grain Scenar launched at a muzzle velocity of 2750 fps penetrated 22" of gelatin with a .43" diameter and 64% weight retention at a distance of 300 yards. As a more casual test, the Lapua 108-grain bullet consistently sliced through 4" pine posts at 900 yards."

Sounds a bit like a Ballistic Tip.
