[QUOTE="Ackman, post: 68006, member: 4206"] Any varmint bullet will nicely explode small targets. Some are more explosive than others, but it's all satisfying. TNT's have been my bullet of choice for many years because they're real accurate, and the .22's are every so often for sale locally at $70/1000. They're about comparable to a ballistic tip...they blow the crap out of small vermin and make a nice mess with rockchucks. I shoot them in 14-twist .223 and .223AI to over 3800 without problem. But at 4100+ in a 22-250AI they come apart, so for me the limit is somewhere in between. One thing though - TNT's have a flat base while ballistic tips have a thick boattail. The TNT might not like the powder you're using with ballistic tips...it may take something with different burning curve to make them work. The 70gr TNT works well in a 13-twist .243AI...they're doing upwards of 3800 with very good accuracy. And those bullets make a real mess out of rockchucks. [/QUOTE]
