At the time 210 Bergers were the biggest they made. He tried them and rarely would all 10 rounds make it to target. Ended up with 240 Sierras.

I'd have to check my records as to the velocity, but it was a fast load. They were labeled as being Match bullets, and are HPBT's. I do not recall ever shooting and not finding a coyote, as they were DRT.
