Speer TNT Varmint Bullets in .22 caliber, 50 grain JHP offer precision reloaders a purpose-built round for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small-game varmints. The 224 diameter jacket and hollow point design deliver the controlled expansion and energy transfer that varmint hunters demand—fast fragmentation on impact with minimal over-penetration. Whether you're loading for a .223 Remington, .22-250, or other .22 centerfire rifle, these bullets combine proven accuracy with terminal performance that doesn't ask you to compromise on either.
The TNT design centers on three core ideas: a thin precision jacket that fragments reliably, internal fluting in a dead-soft lead core that ensures complete bullet disruption, and a long ogive with a small hollow point cavity. That geometry delivers ballistic coefficients competitive with boat-tail designs, so your .22 loads retain velocity and energy out to longer ranges than you might expect from a varmint round. Reloaders have made TNT a consistent seller over the past decade because the combination of accuracy and performance simply works.
These are component bullets for handloaders—not loaded ammunition. You'll need appropriate .22 centerfire brass, primers, and powder to complete your rounds. If you're already set up for .22 reloading, TNT bullets slot in as a reliable, budget-conscious choice for high-volume varmint practice and hunting loads.
| Caliber | .22 / 5.56mm |
| Bullet Weight | 50 grains |
| Diameter | .224" |
| Bullet Type | Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) |
| Core Material | Lead (dead-soft) |
| Jacket Type | Thin precision jacket |
The .224 diameter suits any .22 centerfire rifle—.223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .220 Swift, and similar cartridges. These are component bullets, not loaded ammunition, so you'll need to match them to your specific cartridge, brass, and reloading data.
Yes. The hollow point design and internal fluting are engineered for varmint shooting, where controlled expansion and reliable fragmentation are priorities. Many reloaders use them for both hunting small game and high-volume practice loads.
No. Speer TNT Varmint Bullets are component bullets only. You will need to supply your own brass, primers, and powder, plus follow appropriate reloading data for your specific cartridge and firearm.
Despite their flat-base design, TNT's long ogive and hollow point geometry deliver ballistic coefficients that rival boat-tail bullets of similar weight, helping your loads retain velocity and energy at distance without the added cost.
