Our reloading data for the .308 | 125gr | Speer HP TNT bullet covers a total of 37 suitable calibers and 2331 load recipes

The Speer 0.308 HP TNT bullet with 125 grains, identified by SKU 1986, is a popular choice among varmint and small game hunters. Characterized by its hollow point (HP) design and thin, non-lead-free copper jacket, this bullet delivers explosive expansion on impact, making it highly effective for immediate energy transfer and maximum stopping power. The TNT acronym stands for "Thin-walled, Non-Toxic Tip," but note that this bullet is not lead-free, featuring a traditional lead core for reliable performance and consistency. Its sleek, pointed profile ensures flat trajectories and high accuracy even at longer distances, a factor that skilled marksmen will appreciate for precision shooting. The 0.308 HP TNT bullet is most suitable for targeting varmints such as prairie dogs, groundhogs, and coyotes, but can be used for other small-to-medium sized pest control where rapid expansion is essential. Its fragmentation on impact minimizes the chances of ricochets, adding a layer of safety when hunting in open fields or near agricultural areas.
