Barnes Bullets will be adding two new additions to its popular
Varmint Grenade bullet lineup. Lead-free, highly frangible Varmint
Grenade bullets will be available in a 26-grain .204-inch version for
the .204 Ruger cartridge, along with a new 50-grain bullet for firearms
with .224-inch-diameter bores.
Based on a design Barnes developed for military applications, the
Varmint Grenade is a flat-base, hollow-cavity bullet with a copper-tin
composite core. Surrounded by a substantial guilding-metal jacket, the
highly frangible core greatly reduces the chance of ricochets. The
bullet remains intact at ultra-high velocities, yet fragments
explosively on impact with spectacular results.
The explosive properties of this bullet produce instant
fragmentation and dramatic one-shot kills. Valuable pelts remain virtually undamaged. This remarkable new varmint
bullet delivers sniper-like accuracy for dependable long-distance
kills.
Varmint Grenade bullets are also offered in 36-grain .224-inch and 62-grain .243-inch sizes.
