Has anyone shot the Speer 39 TNT HP--(item # 1015)? How did they shoot and what is our opinion on this bullet?

I bought a box back about 3 years ago. They shot pretty good, but not as good as the ever-reliable SBKs. On average, they shot about .75 groups out of my Cooper 204, while the SBKs were comfortably under 0.5. However, I did not monkey with them too much so you might get a bit better than that.

On the downside, I have not seen them available for about 2 or 3 years now. Did you find a seller than actually had them in stock? They did have a pretty attractive price back then.

I bought and reloaded some as well. For me, they shot about 1" groups which wasn't nearly as good my bergers and ballistic tips. I probably reloaded and tested about 50 rounds before I gave up. After all that, I tried the 39 sbks which are better than anything I've tried.
