Sierra 40gr Varminters

[jrwoitalla]

Midway had Sierra 40gr Varminters in 223cal on sale for $12.99 last month and since I trust Sierra bullets, I bought 500. It was a gamble buying economy bullets. I loaded some up with 2230C and #400 primers: some at 26.5gr and some at 27.5g. Both made 0.4" 5 shot groups consistently @ 100yds. Thought ya'll would like to know about a decent and inexpensive bullet out there for 223cal shooters. With a little tweaking I bet they could be squeezed down to 0.3", well within a minute of squirrel.

+1, those 40gr Sierras have been working very well for me too, very accurate and VERY explosive in my .223 Rem.

They shoot great for me as well and are tough on squirrels and rock chucks.
