Was at the local gun show, perusing the bullets on the shelves and came across some 90 gr TNTs. They could really do some damage out of my son’s 6.5PRC on some coyotes at distance. Not finding any load data. Any suggestions?
 
First choice: 61 grains of MagPro. Second: N560 which I think might do a better job overall but I’m not sure where to start with your ladder. Third: Any H4350 burn rate powder you have on hand. All the standard “start low, watch for pressure, etc, etc.” caveats apply. Sounds like fun though. Let us know what kind of MV you end up getting.
 
Finally got around to doing some load development. 62.5 grains of Accurate 3100 is what we settled on. (Full Case) ~3400 fps 2.810 OAL.CCI 200 primers 1” groups at 100. Tested on some gophers. Its loud and hits where its aimed.

A3100 is a bit faster than H4831 but slower than IMR4831. I think H4350 would work well too. I have lots of A3100 so its fun to play with should shoot flat I would assume and anchor yodel dawgs extremely well.

Gotta work up 120/130 gr CX loads for it as well (fired a couple with same powder charge and they were faster than 90 TNT) kinda neat to see.
 
Ive shot a bit of them with 90gr varmegedon's outa my 6.5 creed. Didn't have good results with my 135 bergers in my 6.5prc. My goal was a long range (500 + ) coyote round. Ended up going to a 25-06 and having better luck.
