The Speer TNT 204 Ruger 39-grain hollow point ammunition delivers explosive terminal performance for varmint hunting and predator control. This precision-loaded cartridge features Speer's TNT hollow point bullet designed for rapid expansion and maximum energy transfer on impact.
What Makes This Different
Speer's TNT (True Non-Toxic) hollow point design creates a large wound channel through controlled expansion, unlike standard FMJ rounds that often pass through small game without maximum energy transfer. The 39-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and knockdown power for the 204 Ruger cartridge. Factory-loaded brass cases ensure consistent chamber pressure and reliable ignition across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- 39-grain TNT hollow point bullet for rapid expansion

Field performance testing shows this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles while delivering devastating terminal ballistics on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes out to 400 yards. The high velocity and hollow point construction make it particularly effective for long-range varmint hunting where quick, humane kills are essential. Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocities from -20°F to 125°F.
