Barnes 30170 Varmint Grenade 22 Hornet 30gr FBHP Bullets 100/Box

The Barnes Varmint Grenade 30170 delivers explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting in 22 Hornet caliber. These 30-grain flat base hollow point bullets fragment completely upon impact, ensuring instant expansion and maximum tissue damage while preventing ricochets and over-penetration.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that may exit intact, the Varmint Grenade features a copper-tin composite construction that disintegrates into tiny fragments upon impact. This complete fragmentation design eliminates exit wounds and reduces pelt damage by 90% compared to standard hollow points. The flat base profile maintains consistent powder compression and delivers superior accuracy in bolt-action and single-shot rifles.

Key Features

• 30-grain flat base hollow point design optimized for 22 Hornet velocities
• Copper-tin alloy construction provides complete fragmentation on impact
• Eliminates ricochets and over-penetration for safer shooting environments
• Minimal pelt damage preserves fur quality for commercial trappers
• Flat base design ensures consistent seating depth and powder compression
• 100-round bulk packaging reduces per-shot cost for high-volume shooting
• Lead-free construction complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations

Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy at ranges up to 200 yards, with consistent 1.5 MOA groups from quality bolt-action rifles. The lightweight 30-grain projectile achieves velocities exceeding 3,100 fps from standard 22 Hornet loads, delivering flat trajectories ideal for prairie dog towns and ground squirrel colonies. Complete fragmentation occurs reliably in targets as small as chipmunks while maintaining devastating effectiveness on coyotes and foxes.
