FAQs

Q: Is this suitable for deer or large game?
A: No. This is a varmint bullet, designed to fragment rather than penetrate deeply.

Q: What makes TNT bullets different?
A: They are engineered for explosive expansion, making them highly effective on small targets.

Q: Is it accurate for reloading?
A: Yes—consistent dimensions and weight make it suitable for precision handloading.

Q: What twist rate is needed?
A: Standard .25 cal rifle twist rates (e.g. 1:10) stabilise 87gr bullets well.

Q: Does it preserve meat?
A: No—expect significant tissue damage, as the bullet is designed to fragment.
