Just noticed these at Graf's..........they had free shipping last week one day.....

I'm a sucker for free shipping....ordered 3 boxes to try em out......

TNT usually mean red mist on p/dogs......we'll see how they work......

Only need one box to "try" 'em out, 3 boxes means you like 'em. LOL

Shoot great for me in my 20P, 1:10 over BLC2. Cheap, great at making a red mist or even just apple sauce!

You will like them. Been using these for coyotes and prairie dogs for a few years now and it really does the job effectively.

Anyone used these in a 12t 204r??

I shoot this bullet regularly in my .20 Practical. It delivers accuracy on par with the 40 gr. V-Max and the results on the receiving end can be quite spectacular. Nice little bullet and a really good value.

only downside is BC is .202 while the 39 gr Sierra Blitzking is .287. will make a difference when you get out beyond 350 400 yards

An acquaintance shoots this bullet out of his 1:12 .204 Ruger with very good accuracy.

I've always relied on the ole 40 gr V max.....all three of my 20's do great

with the 'V'......yes.....TNT's low BC.....I'll keep dogs inside 450 ish.........

Hey Dog....Thanks for the tip...I think I might have to try some of those.

I will have to try some of these TNTs for closer dogs.Like to have a good splat factor.All this time I thought the VMax had a better bc than the Sierra,I killed a bunch of dogs with my twenty BR beyond five hundred yards up on the Montana border with the Sierra and noticed it killed well but didn't do a lot of damage.Perhaps at that distance energy was on the downside.The Sierra is very accurate as is the VMax,perhaps the Speer will work well for my closer shots and provide some nice acrobatics.

Update.....tested the TNT's.....in my high mileage 20 VT...12 T....on paper....

H322...H4198....IMR8208......1.854" oal......H322 was the winner...

next trip to the dog field I'll test them on dogs....its still really hard

to beat the ole 40 V max outta any 20 cal....sleek & fast !

Not same but I switched from 224 cal Vmax to 50 grain TNT because I got some at a smoking closeout price. I saw no discernable difference besides about one click of elevation. I sure liked the price, especially when I load 500 at a time.
