RR send me that you mentioned as well 4831SSC as well .
The Scenar, though no favorite of mine, is not only an excellent paper puncher but is taking down elk, black bear and mulies out west in numbers , if I recall correct the SNR jacket thickness is slightly greater than the standard vld, but don't mark me on that.
In all honestly, since we are talking pecks, I am done with any and all light walled pecks on game, just to daggum uncertain as to how they will react at different yardages which = velocities and I am not stalking up on every one to the same distance nor paying for the game to walk out at the same range every time.
I am no fan of a BT either, unless its the 95grnr in a 243= skrong like bull, but the rest are nothing but a chunky, tip tossing low bc SMK in my opine, which ain't much.
The solution = I have since moved back to all copper monos and have settled strongly and with prejudice on the LRX offerings. 1/4 moa easily found, seating depth easily found, hit like a mofofreaking diesel hammer and they drive the anti hunters crazy , win win.

I shot some 130 TTSXs out of a .270 mountain rifle Sunday. I put a VX5 with the CDSZL elevation dial, zeroed it then walked it out to 500. I believe that is what will head west next weekend.
I was wrong the Scenar is cup and core thin skin, I might try the Naturlis, it's solid copper. I won't shoot BT 's anymore ,I might shoot the NAB or NP. I have shot NBT's since they came out in '83 or '84 killed a lot of deer with them but they changed the formula and my DRT's dropped, especially on hogs.
I might try some LRX's in my .308 some Barnes, just looking for something different but still more accurate than my 67 year old eyes will shoot.
I got to send that stuff to you David I just keep forgetting.Try and get it out tomorrow.
165 Partition is a really good 308 bullet. They’re not match accurate, and don’t need to be, but they’ve always performed well. Good balance of expansion and penetration.
