The Lapua Scenar-L in 6.5mm (.264") 136 grain is a refined take on the Scenar line that put Lapua on the map with competitive shooters. It's an open tip match boat tail design built to exacting standards, and it carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.545 and a G7 of 0.274. That combination of weight and shape makes it a flat-shooting, wind-cheating option that stays supersonic well past 800 yards out of common 6.5mm chamberings.
This is a component bullet, not loaded ammunition, so you'll be seating these into your own brass. The .264" diameter and 1.347" overall length make it a natural fit for the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×47 Lapua, .260 Remington, and the AI variants. It's a favorite in F-Class and precision rifle circles, and it set the NRA high power record at 600 yards paired with Vihtavuori N150. Shooters loading in a 1-8.5" twist barrel will have no trouble stabilizing it.
The story with the Scenar-L is consistency. Lapua tightened up jacket wall concentricity, weight variation, and dimensional uniformity over the original Scenar design, and reloaders notice it on the bench. Measured diameters and base-to-ogive numbers come in impressively uniform lot to lot, which translates directly to low ES and SD numbers once you've dialed in a load.
One thing handloaders appreciate about this bullet is how forgiving it is on seating depth. Plenty of folks run it anywhere from a few thousandths off the lands to a .060" jump and still get excellent groups, which makes it a friendly bullet for magazine-length loads. Popular powders include H4350, Reloder 16, N550, and N150 depending on your cartridge. Real-world accuracy in the 0.3 to 0.5 MOA range is very achievable in a well-tuned rifle, and some have documented sub-0.3 MOA at 100 yards.
Keep in mind this is a true match bullet. The open tip is an accuracy feature from the manufacturing process, not an expanding hunting design, so plan to use it for targets, competition, and load development where precision is the goal.
This is a component bullet only, sold for handloading. You'll seat these projectiles into your own prepped brass with your preferred powder and primer. It is not ready-to-shoot ammunition.
Lapua recommends a 1-8.5" twist for this bullet, which covers most modern 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×47 Lapua, and .260 Remington barrels. Faster twists like a 1-8" will stabilize it with no issues as well.
Not particularly, which is one reason reloaders like it so much. Many have had great results running it anywhere from a few thousandths off the lands out to a .060" jump, so it plays nicely with magazine-length loads. That forgiving nature makes initial load development a little less tedious.
The Scenar-L is a match bullet, not a hunting projectile. The open tip is an accuracy feature from the manufacturing process rather than a design meant for controlled expansion on game. Stick to targets, competition, and load development with this one.
