Is it a highly fragile varmint bullet?

I have had mixed results. But end result is the same. Dead pretty quick

Sierra’s website also now lists a 64gr tipped Gameking. The current 64 version is a personal yote and hog “truck gun” favorite of mine. If they improve it a little and keep the price point in line I bet it will be successful with the ranch rifle folks.

As others have noted, the 62 ELD-Vt is a bit tricky to get tuned. After three or so powder swaps - things fell into line for me. I haven't shot enough coyotes to make a call one way or the other about destructive power, though on ground squirrels (.22 Nosler @ about 3,000 FPS), the damage is far beyond anything I've gotten with Blitz Kings, V-Maxes or Ballistic Tips - and even better than the 50-grain Varmint Grenade - which is impressive indeed. And I've shot many, many thousands of each of them at the squirrels and sage rats. I've always found the 69 Sierras to be a bit touchier to tune than 50's, 52's and 55's in 1-8" or 1-9" twist tubes. Maybe just me and/or my rifles.... I'll definitely try that new 69 out, though.
