Any success with this bullet?
I’ll be loading with H335 and shooting out of an AR with 20” 1/8 Satern barrel

A guy on 6.5 Grendel forum has had good success on feral pigs with 90 gr. TNTs. I’ve never used anything lighter than 100 gr. Partitions in my 6.5 Grendel.

I have 100's to 123's from hp's to fmj's for pigs. Also I'll use Lapua 144fmj-bt's for heavy hitting from a 24". I try and keep mv at a minimum of 2,700 (just a preference), but use lighter bullets in the 20" to keep mv up (just a preference). I wouldn't use any frangible/fragmenting type. The tnt's are almost too soft, but it depends on where you hit them? FMJ's never let me down on any animal 1 shot 1 kill and never ran off. If the pigs run off and die somewhere else then that's fine. That means I don't have to drag them off my crops and the yote's can have at them!

I haven't used either on game, we mostly used the 123 SST and 120 BT, but I would think that either to 90 or 95 would work well on the coyote. If you're saving the fur, I think a 90 TNT, 90 Varmegeddon, or 95 Vmax would be just dandy in the grendel. I played with the TNT and its easy to find accuracy with Benchmark, TAC and X-Terminator. With X-Terminator being velocity champ and accuracy was on par with the other two. I've since moved on to the 85 Hammer Hunter and see no reason to change.

The tnt's on yotes should be fine. Thin skin and not tough on bones.
