Sierra Varminter Bullets
« on: January 05, 2009, 02:34:02 PM »
Sorry but it seems as though i have yet another question for you guys!
Well i bought some 85 grain Sierra Varminter bullets in .243 to do some plinking with and want to know if anyone has used them on a coyote before. How do they work?
Thanks for the help and putting up with all my questions/threads!

I'm try to put one down with a 40gr varminter in my .223 but haven't done it yet. I know they sure group nice but I don't know about effect on an animal yet. :dunno:

Used them and they work fine.  Blows holes in them on way out.  Full pass throughs all the time.  For me in 6mm it is a FMJ for dogs if I want the hide.  If not shoot em.  I have shot quite a few with the 55 Ballistic Tips at 4K with no exit and average entrance.  Every now and then on edge shots it blows a lot of hide away.

Thanks for the help guys. I bought some in .243 85 grain to target shoot with because Partitions are too expensive to shoot paper with. I hope i get a chance to take a coyote but have never tried, so we'll see. Thanks
