No I’m not abondoning the trusted 150 scenar…But for the sake of variety and testing some other bullets, this has me intrigued in the 7 rem mag. Shows a BC of .600? If I ran them at 3050 ish FPS, that’s almost 900 yards to expansion velocities.

Anyone played with these? @Formidilosus and thoughts on this combo? Should I expect similar results to the scenario or a bit messier bullet? Could only imagine what this combo may do to a deer shoulder at say sub 200 yards….
 
Form has talked about "detached shoulders" in regards to the 160 TMK. I've never shot the scenar but I do have the 160 loaded a little over 2600 in a 7-08 for close range work. Very devastating at anything above that 22/2300 impact range, and quite destructive down to the 1900fps I've seen.
 
No personal experience, but this one had my curiosity last year when midway had a sale on them for very cheap. Wanted to try them in 7mag and 7mm08.
I’d be interested if anyone has tried them as I looked for any info and dont remember coming across much. At least for the sake of 7rem mag.
