So I was trying to understand why the TNT has better explosion than the old Nosler bt I used back in the day when I was an every day groundhog hunter. One year we were forced to buy the Vmax as a subsitute for the Nosler BT due to local supply, and when we went to south Dakota we found the V max had way more explosion than the Nosler BT. Well, I absolutely had no idea they were different.
But the Varmeggeddon is closer to the same as the same as the TNT but it has a thicker jacket.
Here is the V max. It is paper thin with a hollow inside.
My Noslers on pdogs were very meh... They have that massive copper back. Which explains why they hit groundhogs so hard but really were very unspectacular on pdogs. They are great deer bullets too.
I was leery to use the 55 Varmegedons in my 223a on pdogs because when I shot the 55 bt noslers in 223 they really didn't hit that hard are have explosive kills. Even at 40 grain they were not that great. But now I'm thinking they will work fine.
That being said you can see the Nosler VG has a pretty thick jacket compared to the Speer TNT, and Vmax. I think the Blitzking looks very similar to the Vmax, I could not find a cross section picture.
