Description

If you reload for varmint hunting or predator control, the Speer TNT 90-grain hollow point sits right in that sweet spot where velocity stays manageable but performance doesn't take a hit. These are purpose-built rounds that have proven themselves across decades of real-world use, and there's a reason they've become one of Speer's best sellers.

What makes the TNT design effective comes down to the engineering. Starting with a thin copper jacket that's precision-engineered, Speer added internal fluting that promotes quick, complete bullet disruption on impact. The dead-soft lead core works together with that jacket to ensure rapid expansion without over-penetration, which means maximum energy transfer into your target. The long ogive and small hollow point design isn't just for looks either. That profile gives you a ballistic coefficient that rivals boat tail bullets, meaning you get flatter trajectories and better downrange velocity retention even though this is a straight-base design.

Why the TNT 6.5mm hits the target

Reloaders working with 6.5 platforms like the Grendel, Creedmoor, or wildcats often find the TNT load produces sub-MOA groups when worked up properly. The 90-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity and sectional density (0.184), letting you push it hard enough for dramatic terminal effects on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and predators without chasing extreme velocity. Field reports consistently show minimal pelt damage when that's a concern, thanks to controlled fragmentation rather than explosive disintegration.

Built for high-volume varmint work

These come 100 per box and have been the choice for shooters running prairie dog towns and predator control operations. The combination of consistent construction, proven accuracy, and terminal reliability makes them practical for someone loading hundreds of rounds. Whether you're working up precision match loads or running a high-volume day at a dog town, the TNT bullet delivers without drama.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber rifles can I use these 6.5mm TNT bullets with?

These .264 diameter bullets work with any 6.5mm rifle, including the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 Swedish, 6.5 Grendel, 260 Remington, and various 6.5 wildcats. Always verify your rifle's bore diameter (.264 inch) matches these bullets before loading. They're component bullets for reloading only.

How do Speer TNT bullets perform on prairie dogs?

The TNT design works well on prairie dogs across a range of distances, with the 90-grain weight offering a good balance between velocity and controlled fragmentation. The thin jacket with internal fluting promotes quick expansion without massive pelt damage, making these practical for high-volume prairie dog shooting where accuracy and on-game performance matter equally.

Are these bullets suitable for long-range varmint shooting?

Yes. The 0.281 ballistic coefficient provides excellent long-range performance compared to traditional hollow points. Many reloaders work up loads that deliver sub-MOA accuracy at distance, and the 90-grain weight lets you push velocity hard enough for reliable terminal performance at extended ranges while maintaining a manageable powder charge.

What kind of powder charges and velocities should I expect?

Specific load data varies by rifle, brass, and primer combination, so consult published reloading manuals for your exact cartridge. Reloaders report velocities ranging from moderate (2500+ fps in platform like the Grendel) to aggressive (3300+ fps from the Creedmoor), depending on powder selection and barrel length. Always start low and work up carefully.
