Likewise, turbo blast a 85 gr sierra HP, I think it carries a name like varmintor, or such..

I use 107gn SMK.  To see the mist you must first hit the mister.

 Sierra makes their .264 Varminter bullet in 100g which should load and shoot well with Varget powder. Bullets designed for varmint shooting are designed to enter and explode inside creating a nice splash of tomato sauce. They do in my 204 Ruger. I will have to get some for the 6.5 CM and see how they do with the yotes

I like hitting them with heavy for caliber bullets at long range. Usually some acrobatics involved.

I'm tempted to work up a load for gophers. 85 grains, hmmmmm. that should be zipping along pretty good.
