Blog: Premium performance with Lapua Scenar
The Lapua factory does a great deal of testing, not only to confirm the renowned top quality of the products, but also to confirm velocities and flight trajectories, not to mention fine-tuning products to achieve the best results possible.
The Scenar - a favorite for achieving the tightest groups
The Lapua Scenar bullets are designed to suit top-level shooters who demand superior accuracy in various disciplines at mid-range and long-range rifle matches and bench rest shooting at an international level. Designed as an open tip match bullet with a boat tail, it’s built for stability, consistency, and precision. This competition projectile has a superb track record, and the below results are proof of this!
Test results
Here, we present the most recent top-level test shooting results from our Lapua test facility, done in August 2025. These groups were shot with a .223 Rem and a .338 Lapua Mag cartridge, using Lapua's .223 Remington case paired with the 4,5 g / 69 gr Scenar-L OTM GB544, and the .338 Lapua Magnum case paired with the 19,4 g / 300 gr Scenar OTM GB528 projectile.
The GB544 set a record-breaking benchmark at Lapua, achieving the smallest group ever shot with any product in our history: an incredible 5 mm / 0.197'' group at 300 m/yds.
The 300 grain .338 cal Scenar GB528 also raised the bar, producing the tightest group ever recorded with this bullet: a 10.6 mm / 0.417'' group at 300 m/yds.
The fact that these products continue to set new records shows that consistent quality is key for improving shooting performance!
