Really only hear good about 155 scenars it seems like... fast, flat, and efficient for their weight!
Getting ready to start reloading and this is the bullet I plan to use, all my research points to this being the round of choice, especially with my 1:12 twist sps tactical.

So..What's the magic load and how fast? Out of what?

I've got 155SMK's and hope to do some good with them as well.

From a 24" tube, you should get them up to 2950 fps.
You can do this with 47.8 gr Varget in Win cases (47.4gr in Lapua cases)

Re: Past two weekends 155 scenars ( 308) & died on
I suggest you start out with a small batch. My CZ 550 doesn't care for them much, but shoots 168 and 175 SMKs very well. My Savage, on the other hand, does well with the Scenars. My best groups so far are at about 2890 fps using 45.5 grains of Varget.
