Introduced in 2007, the Varmint Grenade has rapidly become one of the most popular varmint bullets around. Based on a design Barnes developed for military applications, 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. Produces instant fragmentation, virtually vaporizing ground squirrels and prairie dogs, even at long range. Varmint Grenades instantly expend their energy, seldom exiting large predators like bobcats and coyotes, leaving valuable pelts virtually undamaged.
This is not loaded ammunition.

Great bullets that make great ammo

Barnes, as usual, makes great bullets. This bullet stabilizes very well. Fine bullet at a very reasonable price.

These stabalized fine out of a 1-10 twist shilen chambered in 6x45. However terminal performance wasnt any better than the much cheaper speer tnt I typically use. Overall quality and accuracy was great though.

I bought these to try out on Jack rabbits since California is now a no lead hunting state, they are devastating and very accurate out of my Savage 99 with A4350 load at about 3300 fps. Will order more next material purchase.
