[QUOTE="M67, post: 873230, member: 26259"] Recently Lapua came out with their new 136gr Scenar-L bullet in 6.5mm. I have previously stuck to the 139gr Scenar, at any range. The 139gr has proven itself well, and good shooting have been done at ranges to at least 1300m. Groups around, or less than 30cm at 1000m have been the norm, better on occasions. That is in weather and conditions, out of the dirt, no BR-shooting. So enter the 136, having a new barrel that didnt quite shoot bugholes with 139s, i tried the 136, and voila - at 200m, and at 500m - what we all want, tiny groups. I have been shooting 10 shot groups around 4" at 500m, prone in the dirt. And that i feel is as good as i can excpect. But i want a load that works on all distances, and even though i have only shot the 136 at 1000m on 3 occasions, weather has been fair, and others have shot well. On saturday i spread 10 shots over perhaps 80x80cm, or almost 3 by 3 feet - at 1km. That will not do. Rifle is a Sauer 200STR and the 136s i run at about 910-915m/s, quite precisely 3000fps, the 139s i get only 890m/s from. Medium range (<700m) ballistics are the same, but the 136 go "way too high" at 1000m, compared tho predictions made wuth Lapuas advertised BC (G7) The 136 is more accurate at 500m than the 139, but from 700 and beyond, the 139 is more accurate it seems. - how can this be? - any takes on the BC of the 136gr Scenar - L - any experience using 6.5mm bullets out past 1000yards, in particular the 136gr Scenar-L - have anyone shot other 6.5mm bullets past 1000 and how did they perform? - have anyone experience with high and low shots in light haze?
