Default Sierra 52 gr HPBT Matchkings good on varmints?

These things shoot great out of my 22-250, but I don't know how effective they'd be in the field. Anyone have experience with them?

I haven't used the Sierra's, but I've used Speer and Hornadys of the same weight and design in my .223, and they worked good on coyotes and other predators.

I use them in my 22-250 on coyotes, prairie dogs, gophers, fox & paper. They preform great.

They're great. Ecellent accuracy and will do the job. This is my bullet of choice for the 22.250

They will kill just about anything, but they won't make them go pop like you want them too. Try the 55 gr Blitzkings.

Accuracy is good. You won't get the red mist and large exit hole like some other bullets

Hey guys, do you mind sharing the type powder you might be using with these bullets? I have loaded some vmax's and bt's up and they shot oka(not great) and I'm not sure what they will do to coyote hides. Thanks
