Speer 20 cal TNT ?

[Spook]

Has anyone used the 20 caliber version of the TNT?

I had no idea Speer made 20cal bullets

Since action is slow so far, I'll offer this: I've found TNTs to be a best buy, and my preferred varmint bullet in 223 Rem (50-gr), 250-AI (87-gr) and also 270 Win (90-gr).

Excellent accuracy, explosive terminal performance, and a comparatively low price.

In light / short bullets I prefer the flat-base design to boattails. It allows me to seat the bullet closer to the lands without running out of neck engagement (especially in the short-necked 223 Rem), and I find flat-base bullets are very accurate out to 300 yards.

P.M. me and I will send you some to try.

Thanks Garth, I couldnt resist and went back to Sportsmans WH and grabbed a box of 39's. I'll let everybody know... as soon as it warms up

Please do, and don't forget the camera .
I didn't know Speer had gotten into the sub .22 cals for reloaders either, I gotta get out more .

I shot some of the 39gr TNTs a few years ago and they shot pretty well. Not as accurate out of my Cooper 204 as the Sierra BKs, but about 2/3rds the price. If I remember correctly, they were about .3 larger groups than what I typically got out of my go-to Sierra Load (25.5 Benchmark and CCI 450 primers). However, I have not seen them on the shelves anywhere for about 3 years now.

The 70 gr TNT .243 bullet is one of the most explosive bullets i've seen in a dog town.

i have a Remington 700 Sendero in 25-06 that loves the 87 grain TNT bullet. It too makes a big mess out of PD's.
