The Barnes Varmint Grenade is a purpose-built .22 caliber (.224) rifle bullet that pairs a frangible copper-tin powdered core with a gilding metal jacket. The 50-grain, flat-base hollow-point design is engineered to remain stable at high velocities in fast-twist barrels while fragmenting on impact to reduce the risk of over-penetration and to help preserve pelts. Sold in 250-count boxes for varmint and pest-management applications where controlled terminal performance is desired.
