The Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 36 gr VGFB are purpose-built projectiles engineered for small-game and varmint hunting applications where explosive fragmentation and rapid energy transfer are mission-critical. These bullets serve shooters who demand reliable performance in .22 centerfire platforms, delivering consistent results across high-velocity rifle configurations. Whether deployed for predator control, pest management, or precision varmint work, this ammunition provides the terminal performance necessary to humanely and effectively neutralize small-frame targets at practical hunting distances.
The VGFB (Varmint Grenade Fragmenting Bullet) design incorporates Barnes' advanced copper-alloy construction, which generates controlled fragmentation upon impact while maintaining structural integrity during flight and barrel transition. At 36 grains, these projectiles achieve optimal velocity stability in modern .224" bore rifles, minimizing wind drift and maximizing downrange accuracy. The grenade-style configuration creates a shock-wave effect that rapidly dissipates kinetic energy, ensuring immediate incapacitation while reducing risk of over-penetration and collateral impact—a critical consideration in agricultural and suburban hunting environments.
This 250-round bulk pack is ideal for dedicated varmint operators, range trainers, and hunters who regularly engage targets across extended field seasons. The Barnes Varmint Grenade rounds function reliably in standard .22 centerfire platforms including the .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, and other comparable .224" diameter cartridges. Shooters who prioritize shot-to-shot consistency, minimal barrel fouling, and terminal reliability will find these rounds essential for serious varmint work where each round must perform predictably under variable field conditions.
