Yep, that would be the same 125gr TNT that Bressfetcher gel tested for AAC at 300 BLK velocities. One of the neat things about "varmint" bullets in the Whisper/BLK is that they are designed to fragment explosively at typical .308 velocities but slow them down to Whisper velocities and they perform more like hunting bullets do in the .308. The 125gr TNT performed ok in the tests, it just didn't open up quite fast enough for my tastes. The Hornady 110gr V-Max, the Barnes 110gr TSX, and the Remington 125gr plastic tip performed the best as far as I could tell.
