[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 893946, member: 9551"] I like the 85 gr Sierra for varmints. We have coyotes, marmots and crows in my region. I have Reloader 17 loads for high velocity to 400 yards and I load 2.15 grams (yes grams) of Accurate 5744 as a short range reduced load at about 2900 fps. I use F210s for both in Lapua cases. The 85 gr Sierra expands on varmints. The 100 gr Ballistic Tip is a big game and not a varmint bullet. I once shot two coyotes with one bullet. One was facing West the other East. The one facing West had bullet diameter entrance and exit holes, the East facing coyote had a big exit hole. The bullet finally expanded. The 85 gr will expand on crows. The 100 gr Ballistic Tip will not. I have tried both. [/QUOTE]
