Has anyone used the Barnes verminator bullets?

Was just wondering if anyone has any comments on the barnes varmint bullets? Was thinking of trying them in my 223. ndnhunter

I shot the 40 gr in my 223, they would do about 3/4" average for 5 shot groups over any of these powders : H4895, Benchmark, Ramshot X-Terminator. I also loaded them to 22LR speeds over Bluedot powder (1450 fps)

I loaded a bunch of the 50 gr Varminators up for a friends 700 BDL 22-250, and they shot around 3/4" for 3 shot groups over h4895 @ 3850 fps.

I have a bunch of them loaded up for my .243 (72 gr)
I haven't shot anything but paper with them yet, but they give me a 3/4", 5 shot group. 45 grains of H-414 gives 3300 fps.
I hope to try them out soon on coyotes with Cariboo.

I also just loaded some 72 gr in my 243, with RL15. Hopefully will test them on Wednesday

I bet that was a nice subtle load. relatively quiet ?

well, it was louder than a 22LR, but a guy could shoot it without hearing protection

And I used 260 Rems ammo to beat him in a shooting competition last summer

barely beat me, it was a practically a tie
