The Barnes Varmint Grenade is a .224-caliber, 50-grain flat-base hollow point bullet engineered for high-velocity varmint and small-game applications. It uses a frangible copper/tin powdered-metal core enclosed in a gilding-metal jacket and is offered lead-free. The design is intended to deliver consistent accuracy in elevated-velocity loads and to perform reliably when seated off the lands by the recommended amount.
