[QUOTE="Tack-Sniper, post: 72756, member: 4424"] I have seen some talk in the archives of this forum about 125 Gr TNT bullets having speed limitations (3200 FPS) so I wanted to post my experiences with them. If you look at the bottom of this page: [url="http://www.geocities.com/underwatersniper/groups.html"]http://www.geocities.com/underwatersniper/groups.html[/url] You will see some groups I shot with the TNT's. I reloaded them with 97 gr of RL 22 which should be giving me around 3700 FPS. I dont know for sure as I do not have a chrono.I have not had any bullet failures as of yet but I have not tried them on varmints or waterjugs so I dont know how they react on anything but paper.I just wanted to open this up for discussion and see what others have to say about it because The 125's can be bought at an economical price at [url="http://www.midwayusa.com"]www.midwayusa.com[/url] , somewhere around $55/500. FWIW - even the 125 TNT's kick like a mule in a sporter weight barrel. Keep in mind my site is a geocities site and has bandwidth restrictions. Thanks- John [/QUOTE]
