If you have a factory rifle with a stock barrel, chances are that the twist rate is faster than that which is required to get the best results from lighter (shorter) bullets, which is what we want in a varmint rifle, being that the target area for a good clean kill is so small. You might want to look into it before spending money on lighter bullets/ammo. There are heavier (longer) bullets you could use that expand more easily than other hunting bullets, and these rounds might do a better job for you if all the above applies........

I've decided to stick with hornady 155g since they're readily available any sportsmans and other local stores.

if you do get into reloading look at Nosler 125 grain ballistic tip because of the bullet Construction it a little longer for its weight then other bullets and would have a tendency to perform better with your hunting rifle twist
