Commonwealth Ammunition’s 223 Speer TNT ammo is made for varmint hunters. It uses Speer’s 50 grain TNT bullet, which expands fast and fragments on impact. As a result, it transfers energy quickly on small game and pests.

Why Choose 223 Speer TNT Ammo?

The TNT bullet has a thin jacket and internal flutes. Together, they help the bullet open rapidly when it hits. That makes it a top choice for varmint control, where quick, clean results matter most.

The light 50 grain bullet also leaves the muzzle fast. Therefore, it shoots flat, which makes small targets easier to hit at longer range.

Accuracy You Can Count On

A good varmint load needs more than expansion. It also needs to hit a small target on demand. So Commonwealth loads every round in quality brass with consistent primers and powder. In turn, you get tight groups and steady velocity.

For example, many hunters use this load for prairie dogs, ground squirrels and coyotes. Because the bullet fragments, it also lowers the risk of pass-through on small animals.

Value for Long Days in the Field

The 50-round box gives you plenty of ammo for a full day in the field. In addition, Commonwealth uses clean-burning powder, so you can shoot longer between cleanings. Every lot also goes through quality checks for feeding and extraction in bolt-action and semi-auto rifles.
