Default The .172 25gr Berger that are good for coyote?

Hi guys. When I bought my rem700 in .17rem i bought it used in a package deal a few years back. It came with about a thousand of the .172 25 varmint match grade bullets. Lot#1504
Are these the ones with the thicker more desirable jacket?
I only killed 1 coyote with them and the 1st bullet splashed (it may have been due to placement) the second that went into neck did the pin prick/no pass through deal.
Just want to be clear if it's the bullets that were discontinued or not.
Thanks
Rob

Default 17 Bergers

The ones they discontinued are the .172 match target, #17007.

It is the match target but I thought the part number was 17407.

That's the # on the ones I have. They came out of that group buy awhile back, may very well be different on the older ones.

Make throat or rib shots and you shouldn't have any
spash problems. I never have, even with 20gr V'max
