Anybody use Speer TNT hollowpoints on varmints? Varmint packs at wholesale sports seem pretty reasonably priced. Anybody got feedback?
 
I'll have to try & pick some up on my next 'shopping' trip to P&d. Primarily just just accuracy testing and also a little work on mediums like jugs of water for 'effect', I've tried Hornady V-MAX and Sierra Blitzking's:D but I'll have to try some of the Speer TNT-HP's. I have a Remington 221 Fireball (handgun) and I see loads listed the 50gr. I also have a 22-250 in a Ruger # 1 but in the Speer # 13 manual I don't see loads specifically for use with the TNT-HP. SP's, yes & HP's yes but no the TNT-HP's. :confused:Just checked their info on the TNT in Chapter 3, Speer Rifle Bullets: Their Characteristics And Uses but my question wasn't answered. I'll call their 1-800 # later but in the meantime, does anyone know why they are not listed? Too fragile for those velocities or just an oversight?:confused:

Update:
I just got off of the phone with the Speer tech people and the reason there are not any loads listed in the # 13 manual for the .22-250 is because the velocity limits of the TNT-HP could be exceeded in that caliber and the 220 Swift. The lady I talked to stated that in the new # 14 manual, there is a load for a 55gr TNT-HP in the .22-250. She also said she would e-mail me that info.
 
I use 70 grain TNT's in my 243. They are very accurate but I have yet to shoot any critters with it so don't know how the terminal performance is. I plan on trying it out on coyotes this winter.
