100 gr Lapua Scenars & H322

[LRRPF52]

I just checked Volume I and II looking at AA, Hodgdon’s and Vihtavuori data to try to build a cross-reference.

There’s data for 100gr Scenar from AA and VV with different powders.
There’s data for multiple 100gr cup and core bullets with H322, but not the Scenar.

Alexander Arms
100gr Scenar H335 29.4gr max charge 2786fps 24” barrel

VV data
100gr Scenar N133 24.2 - 29.3gr 2802fps at max from 24”
100gr Scenar N530 24.7 - 29.3gr 2815fps

Hodgdon’s
100gr Nosler Ballistic Tip H322 26.0 start 29.0C max 2716fps 49,800psi

I’ve noticed that 100gr Ballistic Tips are pretty soft, but that could be just a thinner jacket. Scenars seem to have harder jacket material that’s thicker to be more consistent for target work, no concerns about terminal performance for hunting since they’re not meant for that.

I would use the Hodgdon’s H322 data and work up in .3gr increments over a chrono and keep that 29.0gr compressed load in-mind as probably your top end.

Do you not have the Handbooks by now?
