Do Lapua Scenar bullets shoot well in a .237 bore?

[ratbuster]

The Scenar bullets reportedly are nearly .001 smaller than most other .243/6mm bullets. I was told by one person they may not shoot well in .237 bore guns and should do better in a .236 bore.

I am looking to build a 6BR around Lapua Scenar 90 factory ammo for my son-in-law who is a non reloader.

I appreciate comments from those that have experience with this.

I shoot the 105 Scenars in a .237 bore 26" Krieger 6BR. They shoot little bug holes at 100 and hold half MOA @ 400 on a calm day. In my experience the Scenars are same diameter as comparable U.S. 6MM bullets measured with a micrometer. Perhaps the Scenars were under sized on 1st production runs to U.S. but they don't seem to be now

That's great to hear...thanks for the input.

I am glad to hear those Scenar's are not as skinny as some others have reported. Maybe Lapua "fattened" them up
