Sierra 175MK vs Scenar L 175

[gyr]

I wonder if someone has used the scenar 175 in a 308?
the sierra 175 was always a good bullet but I see that prices are up recently-at least in my area-. The bc for 308 speeds is very similar in both bullets.

Thanks

...or i can continue using the old 155 scenars....

I gave up on the standard smk175's once I'd tried the TMK 175's.   High price but higher BC. I've also found the smk 190's to be excellent at range as it seems to remain stable past transonic.

I always liked the 155’s

 

Velocity over BC

Velocity retains BC , fast is good.

I have some sitting if you need 10 to try

Thanks for the comments. Looks like I will stay with the 155’s.

Kipper many thanks for the offer,

BC  over velocity.  Tomatoes tomaytoes 😉

What happens through transonic  matters.  I've shot next to mates shooting 155's at 2900fps or close on and did as well if not better with 190s at 2550fps over 1000yds.

The ideal though is high BC for mass and high velocity so in .308 an SMK 155 Palma  driven at 3000fps tends to do pretty well!
