Before anyone goes hog wild over the new Lapua Scenar-L bullets they should look at Lapua's website and compare them. They may be more consistent but is it enough to offset the price difference and in the 6.5 caliber the 3gr difference between the 136 and 139 bullets is not enough to talk about. This is taken from the Lapua web site.
Midway has the regular price for the 136 marked at 449.99 and the 139 at 369.99 per 1000. I just can't see 90 bucks of improvement. JMHO
