- Capacity-Rounds:
- 100
- Grain:
- 62
The Barnes Varmint Grenade 6mm 62gr bullets deliver explosive fragmentation designed for varmint hunters who demand both terminal performance and pelt preservation. This 100-count box of rifle bullets combines Barnes' proven copper/tin composite construction with a purpose-built projectile that fragments reliably on impact, minimizing collateral damage to hides and pelts you want to keep or sell. If you're reloading for predator control, small-game hunting, or dedicated varmint work, these bullets offer the explosive effectiveness that makes quick, clean kills possible.
The fragmentation characteristics that define these rounds mean rapid energy transfer and minimal over-penetration—a significant advantage when you're working in populated areas, around structures, or anywhere exit wounds create liability. The high-velocity design and composite-core construction deliver the accuracy reloaders expect from Barnes, so you can focus on shot placement rather than compensating for bullet performance.
These bullets meet lead-free ammunition standards under both the Condor Preservation Act and California's lead ammunition restrictions, making them legal for use in regulated hunting zones and states with environmental restrictions. Whether you're a dedicated varmint hunter or a reloader building custom rounds for specific game, the Varmint Grenade rounds give you a premium option that balances terminal expansion with practical, real-world hunting needs.
