Thanks for the tip! Found they had 6mm 107 match kings too at a fair price.

Not Hijacking your tread but these 50gn TNT's are another good option, that shoot just as good (for me anyways) as the Sierra and a little bit cheaper. 500 @137

I'm shooting them at 3360 from a 1 in 7 twist 20 AR with GREAT results! That's 340,000 rpms and have yet to have one fail.

.22 Cal 50 Gr. BlitzKing - Sierra Bullets

For rifles, this bullet is designed for explosive expansion in varmints and small game and with accuracy characteristic of the MatchKing bullets. The nose tips of the bullets are made of a proprietary acetyl resin compound, and the sharp tips improve the ballistic coefficient over the...

Sierra's 50gr Blitz Kings are good up to 4400fps. That's a distinct advantage to a shooter who may shoot/load for 221fb as well as a 22-250 with the same bullet. Ammo companies know this as well by providing factory loads for everything from 221Fireball to 220 Swift using 50gr Sierra Blitz KINGS

I'm not sure that I buy Speer would have a 3300 fps speed limit on a 22 cal varmint bullet... There's tons of guys shooting these with a 22-250 and I'm sure they are well over 3300 but that may be another thread topic so we don't take this thread off it's rails ; )

Im shoot them in my 22-6MM AI at over 4300 FPS. It just seems the faster I shoot them the better they shoot.

Well damn.. Ya'll are right again! These TNT's do in fact have a published speed limit (low) and there are countless examples of people having them "come apart" at higher velocities. There's even an article I found from this very forum, from years ago. Make sure you are aware of this as I was not! Now it looks like i'm going to make a switch to something that I won't have to worry about blowing up inside my suppressor. It's only a matter of time before I would find out the hard way by pushing them at over 340,000 rpms. I'm reading a lot of good about the longer, lead free Barnes varmint grenades holding up to high velocities and fast twist barrels. Might give them a try.

Speer gr TNT speed limit

I think I read where the 50gr has a "limit" from speer of 3400fps. Is the 55gr the same? Anyone have issues running them 3600-3800? they will be moly coated, new barrel. They are pretty cheap and the 50's always shoot great in my 222
