Yeah they can do that in faster twists. 1-12 to 1-14 should be ok though. Noslers will get there fine. About 240000 rpm is their limit but some get away with more.
 
I tried the 50gr. TNT in my 22-250 and some would explode en-route to the target.

The 50gr TNT is designed for 223 velocities.

The 55gr TNT is designed for the 22-250 and .220 Swift velocities.

I shoot the 55gr TNT in my 22-250s and my .220 Swift - they never explode until they hit the beasties... then they shatter.

the TNT bullets are often overlooked in many calibers -- love the 90 tnt for the .277 option--- I have never shot a TNT that I couldn't find an accurate load for--and-- they can be bought in bulk--- anywhere from 500-1000 packs depending on caliber

what is also often overlooked is that even though the tnt is designed for "varmints" --when they are used in "slower" cartridges they can be used up to mid sized game as they don't blow up as rapidly and will retain some weight for penetration
