Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 Cal (Hornet) .224" 30 Gr Vgfb 250/
The Barnes Varmint Grenade .22 Hornet rifle bullets deliver what their name promises: controlled fragmentation on impact designed for clean, efficient varmint hunting. These 30-grain .224" projectiles are engineered to fragment rapidly upon contact, making them ideal for small-game and varmint work where you want minimal pelt damage and quick, ethical kills. Shooters who care about salvaging hides will appreciate that the fragmentation pattern leaves minimal exit trauma, helping preserve pelts if that's part of your harvest plan.
Built from a copper/tin composite core, these bullets are manufactured to tight tolerances for the kind of accuracy that matters when you're threading shots through brush or across open country. The construction is also compliant with the Condor Preservation Act and California's lead-free ammunition mandate, so you can shoot them legally across a wider range of regions and seasons without compromise.
A 250-round box gives you enough rounds to train, hunt, and experiment with load development for your .22 Hornet rig. Whether you're working varmints on agricultural land, managing predators, or hunting small game where pelt value matters, these bullets deliver the performance and legal clearance you need.
