lot of fanfare when that bullet came out. the manufacturing process for scenar L was billed as twice as consistent (half the variation) as the previous scenar. everyone was practically wetting their pants over it, until people started shooting it and realized that the bullet had a slightly better BC than a random piece of gravel. sales went to zero except for a handful of benchresters. then midwayusa dumped a blue bazillion of them at prices cheaper than older junk hornady bullets. if you bought back then, you did well. once that lot was gone, they eventually went back to full price. for the money, there are probably 4 bullets i'd pick before i got to the 139 scenar-L but if i eventually landed there, i'd certainly expect it to shoot, just not very far lol
