Barnes Varmint Grenade is an all-new lead-free varmint bullet that delivers explosive results, originally developed for military applications with a copper-tin composite core that is highly frangible, greatly reducing the chance of ricochets. The hollow-cavity, flat-base bullet features a copper-tin powdered metal core surrounded by a guilding metal jacket. The bullet remains intact at ultra-high velocities in fast twist barrels, while its highly frangible core fragments violently on impact.
This .22 caliber offering brings proven effectiveness to varmint hunting applications. Each bullet weighs 36 grains with a 0.224″ diameter and 0.697″ length, featuring a hollow point flat base design. The projectile produces instant fragmentation, virtually vaporizing ground squirrels and prairie dogs even at long range, while instantly expending their energy and seldom exiting large predators like bobcats and coyotes, leaving valuable pelts virtually undamaged. Introduced in 2007, the Varmint Grenade has rapidly become one of the most popular varmint bullets around. Each box contains 250 projectiles, ideal for serious reloaders and hunters seeking consistent, field-proven performance.
