My Accumark shoots the 100 and 115 grain Barnes TSX, and the 115 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips well, but the stars for my barrel are the 115 and 120 grain Nosler Partitions. Good shooting

Depends on your terrain. When shooting at coyotes I'd want a bullet that will come apart on the frozen ground, but if I were to jump big game at close range I'd want a bullet that will hold together for a through and through. I'd see if a load using the Accubond or Partition strikes with the BTs. You wouldn't need many and it needn't be quite accurate as your varmint load either. $0.02

I like the 100 TSX in mine. It makes a flat shooting beanfield rifle for antelope, mulies or open country whitetails, plus the TSX doesn't seem to destroy hides too bad on coyotes even at high velocities.

I've used the 100 gr. Partition and Barnes X, the 110 AccuBond, 115 and 120 gr Partition in my Mark V Euromark. All shot well but the 115 gr. Partition I feel is the best in the .257 Wby. I shot an antelope buck with the 110 gr. AccuBond last year at about 110 yards broadside and it performed like Ballistic Tips did in my '06 and 7MM Rem Mag - too explosive. I prefer a bullet that doesn't come apart and penetrates completely. The 100 gr. Barnes X did that but tended to foul my particular barrel more than I like. Can't go wrong with the 115 gr. Nosler Partition!

The bc of the 115 and the 100 grain barnes is very close but you will have a couple hundred feet per second advantage with 100 grain triple shock. Plus it will retain alot more weight than the silver tip, kind of nice if you ever need to drive a bullet through the ham strings of a huge 300 pound mulie buck. I would say its worth a shot. I will buy the remainder of them or trade you some 100 grain nosler bts if your gun doesnt like them. Cheers!

I haven't built mine yet, but it is going to shoot the 100 grain TSX. At least it better.

I shoot the 25-06 AI but its the same ball game. I like the 100 gr txs. Far and away.

Considering that statement , I can't imagine why you would even be considering the premium bullets and especially the heavier ones.

I'd vote for any good plain ol' 100 gr spitzer that your rifle likes , such a bullet works fine for lopes if you do your part , and better on the vermin . Reserve the heavy premiums for those occational muley hunts .
