You uses varmint bullets in 25 cal rifles or hand rifles? Just curious. I have chance to purchase a small inventory of varmint bullets. Hornady brand in particular. Just wondering if it would be wise to do so for resale. Normally i buy just hunting rounds and pistol bullets for my reloading supply business.
Thank you, Sarge

it used to be 80 grains was about as light as you could get in a .257. Not as fur friendly as it could be but it definately plants them for ya.

If they are making better boolets now I need to update.

I am a huge Hornady fan and would think now would be a great time to experiment. If every coyote was worth $100 blowing the backside out would hurt. When they are gonna average 20 it won't hurt to ditch a couple nearly as bad.
