[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 357613, member: 307"] I use the Nosler Ballistic Tip almost exclusively for hunting and quiet a bit of target shooting. I have no qualm with their performance on game or targets. Their stunning acccuracy, (.1-.3) in my rifles, provides me with the confidence I need to make pin point accurate hits. The Sierra Match Kings are a close second with regards to accuracy. I have bought quiet a few Hornady bullets over the past 25yrs and have yet to have a V-max in any caliber provide the accuracy that a Ballistic Tip will. The tighest I ever got the 87gn V-Max to group was .4". Everybodies mileage varies though, and the required accuracy is subjective. The Bergers, well I got the 115gn (.257) to shoot fantasticly in my .25-06 Sendero but could not get the 168gn (.284) to shoot under a 1/2" in my 700P 7Mag, with several combinations. If I were to set my .243 up for coyotes I would reload the 90-95gn Ballistic Tip. Either of these can be pushed to 3100+fps and will provide the accuracy and knock down needed to connect and kill coyotes at 600-700 yds. I currently am shooting the 95gn ahead of 44.0gn of VihtaVuori N560 with a BR2 primer. This combo allows me to make consistent hits on targets and game out to 600yds easily (almost boringly). Give it a whirl, you won't be dissatisfied, I don't believe. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
