Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Sierra 75 gn #1600 .257 dia

Are these bullets too light? What are these bullets appropriate to load into? What would you hunt with them?

Varmint bullet. Quit shooting them out of my 25.06 as it was a waste.

I got them for a 250 savage. Started to reload and test, but sold rifle to a good friend that has since past on. He gave rifle to his brother as a gift.

I used to use them for shooting ground hogs with .25-06. When it was the only option I had, they worked well for me. But now that I am older and have a wider variety of options, I would not bother to load them up again.

I just worked up a load for my Martini .256 Win Mag using these 75gr bullets with IMR4198. Very accurate! I hope to shoot some hogs with them (note: I head shoot hogs at a feeder for meat).
