6.5mm Lapua 136gr scenar-L bullets

[Stugots]

I picked up a box of 6.5mm Lapua 136gr scenar-L bullets and was looking for a little load data. I will be using RL16 and possible H4350 for powders and was looking for other experiences with this bullet and powder combo's. TIA, Stu!

probably need to mention the caliber?

It shoots really good in my 260AI with VV-N560 & CCI-BR2 primer.

Sorry, 6.5 CM - will be using BR2 primers

I use the Scenar 136s for F-Class in my 260 Rem handloads. I am using 43.6 gr of H4831sc in ADG brass to power them. (ADG cases are heavier than most so ADG recommends reducing charges by 1 grain to allow for smaller internal volume.) 6.5 Creedmoor shooters have found that 44.3 gr of H4831sc seems to be a sweet spot.

I'm using h4350 and 136 scenar l 28" bartlien barrel running at 2930fps Lapua srp brass Federal SR Match primer. Very accurate.

Between 42-43gr is probably where you will end up.

Start low as I have seen decent velocity changes between powder lots of h4350

I only have 2.5lbs of H4350 but U have 18lbs of RL16 so I would like to hear a few peoples experiences with that powder bullet combo.

Just send me the scenars and save your powder.
I've got 2 great loads using that bullet, none of which use RL16 H4350.

I believe Alliant has load data for a 140gr bullet and RL16, or look at Hornady load data for the 135 Atip as a reference

Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
