The Barnes Varmint Grenade 22 caliber bullets deliver explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting. These 36-grain flat base hollow point projectiles fragment completely upon impact, eliminating ricochet concerns while maximizing tissue damage on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar small game.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional varmint bullets that may pass through or create exit wounds, the Varmint Grenade features a copper-tin composite construction that disintegrates into tiny fragments upon contact. This complete fragmentation eliminates the risk of dangerous ricochets common with standard bullets. The ultra-high velocity design achieves maximum expansion even at extended ranges where other bullets lose effectiveness.
Key Features
- Complete fragmentation eliminates ricochet hazards for safer shooting
- 36-grain weight optimized for flat trajectory and high velocity
- Copper-tin composite construction ensures consistent expansion
- Flat base design provides excellent accuracy in standard twist rates
- Hollow point cavity engineered for immediate expansion on impact
- Lead-free construction meets all hunting regulations
- 100-bullet bulk pack for extended shooting sessions
Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy at ranges beyond 300 yards, making these bullets ideal for long-range varmint control. The explosive fragmentation creates massive wound channels that ensure quick, humane kills on small game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on performance, as the copper construction resists corrosion and maintains consistent ballistics across temperature extremes.
