For longer distances I think the 123 grain and 129 grain bullets with higher ballistic coefficient can be desirable. At the 6.5 Grendel velocity and at shorter range the 90 grain TNT bullet construction does not act like a typical varmint bullet where there is explosive expansion or fragmentation. Many people are using the 90 grain TNT for short range shooting where the higher BC in not real advantageous. The 90 grain TNT driven at higher velocities produced 264 Win Mag, 6.5 CM, 6.5x55, 260 Rem or 6.5-284 might prove less than desirable on anything bigger than varmints where the 90 grain bullet is propelled at velocity exceeding 3000-3200 FPS.
If a person is using NV or thermal at night typical shooting distance are generally closer than two hundred yards. The 90 grain TNT still seems to have enough mass to penetrate deep enough to be effective on hogs. The cheaper price of TNT bullets for the reloader and factory Federal ammunition loaded with the 90 grain TNT has helped itÂ’s popularity.
