Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 36 gr VGFB 100/ct

Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 caliber .224" 36 grain VGFB ammunition delivers explosive fragmentation on impact, making it an effective choice for varmint and small game hunting. These .22 cal rifle bullets are engineered to fragment rapidly upon target contact, which minimizes exit wounds and preserves pelts—a critical advantage for hunters who want to salvage hides for resale or personal use. Sold in convenient 100-round boxes, this ammunition combines stopping power with practical efficiency.

The 36-grain projectile weight delivers high velocity necessary for reliable fragmentation in the .224" diameter specification. The copper-tin composite core construction provides consistent accuracy downrange while maintaining the structural integrity required for controlled fragmentation. This material composition ensures that each round performs predictably across varying shooting conditions, whether from a dedicated varmint rifle or general-purpose centerfire platform. The VGFB (Varmint Grenade Fragmenting Bullet) design is optimized specifically for rapid energy transfer and terminal fragmentation rather than deep penetration, fundamentally different from hunting bullets designed for larger game.

This ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who prioritize shot placement accuracy and clean, ethical harvesting of varmints including prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small game. Competitive shooters and recreational marksmen in .22-caliber rifle disciplines also rely on Barnes precision ammunition for consistent performance at the range. The 100-round configuration makes these bullets suitable for both training sessions and active field use without excessive case weight, and reloaders appreciate the consistent component quality for handload development.
