Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 50 gr VGFB 100/ct

Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 caliber .224" 50 grain VGFB rounds deliver controlled fragmentation designed for small game and varmint hunting applications. These .22 caliber rifle bullets combine explosive terminal performance with pelt-preservation characteristics, making them a specialized choice for hunters prioritizing hide quality. Sold in boxes of 100, this ammunition is engineered to fragment reliably upon impact while minimizing meat damage and exit wounds.

The 50-grain projectile features a copper/tin composite core construction that delivers both ballistic consistency and terminal expansion. The Varmint Grenade design generates rapid velocity-dependent fragmentation, which reduces penetration depth and mitigates overpenetration beyond intended targets. This construction method supports higher accuracy levels across typical varmint hunting ranges, a critical factor when precision shot placement determines success on small-diameter targets. The .224" diameter ensures compatibility with standard .22 centerfire rifles (such as .223 Remington platforms), and the 50-grain weight balances velocity retention with controllable recoil impulse for follow-up shots.

This ammunition is engineered for dedicated varmint control operations, predator hunting, and small-game situations where pelt salvage economics matter. Shooters working prairie dog towns, coyote management programs, and fur-bearing game operations benefit from the fragmentation profile that prevents hide degradation while stopping targets reliably. The 100-round box format supports both range development and field work without excess inventory, and the consistent ballistics across the lot support shot-to-shot repeatability critical for precision varmint work.
