Is anyone out there shooting 155 gr scenars though a 16" or 20" REPR and if so, what kind of velocities are you seeing with your loads. Thanks.

Thanks K_4c for the info. Are you hand loading for yours or are they factory loads?

I should add that my REPR likes this as well (as do I... 500 m with only 2.3 to 2.4 mils on the scope... little "DOPE" for ya) happy shooting bud.

This is not apples to apples but close. I am shooting 155 Bergers out of a 16" POF and getting 2493-2500fps. 44.5 gr of Varget. Hope this helps some on possible 155 velocity from a 16"

That does help. What kind of accuracy are you getting? I was hoping to get around 2600 fps out of the 155 gr bullet class. Perhaps it is wishful thinking.

Re: LWRC REPR - Anyone shooting 155gr scenars?
I am getting .75 if I do my part...I have only shot bolt guns precision long range so I booger up a flyer here and there with the AR. I shot them today at 650yds and they shot MOA. I have no adverse pressure signs and I expect I could get some more velocity in my load. It was shooting good so I stopped. Berger lists 44.5 gr as max but at least in my work up there was room for some more. I am shooting Lapua cases and Federal 210M's. Hope you get what you want out of it.
