Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 cal (Hornet) .224" 30 gr VGFB 100/ct

The Barnes Varmint Grenade Rifle Bullets .22 cal (Hornet) .224" 30 gr VGFB ammunition is purpose-built for precision varmint hunting and small-game control where explosive terminal performance is required. These bullets are engineered for shooters who demand reliable expansion and controlled fragmentation at moderate velocities, making them ideal for predator control, prairie dog towns, and long-range varmint applications. The 100-round count per box ensures consistent supply for range sessions and field operations without frequent reordering.

Barnes' Varmint Grenade design incorporates a hollow-point geometry with scored construction that initiates predictable fragmentation upon impact, maximizing energy transfer and minimizing over-penetration on small targets. The 30-grain bullet weight at .224" diameter is optimized for .22 Hornet platforms, delivering flat trajectories and high velocity retention downrange. This bullet construction prevents deflection in light brush while producing immediate incapacitation, a critical advantage in commercial varmint operations where clean, efficient kills reduce escape and suffering. The solid copper alloy ensures consistent performance across temperature variations and extended storage periods.

Tactical and professional pest-control operators benefit from VGFB ammunition's reliable ballistics and predictable expansion at typical .22 Hornet velocities (2,600–2,800 fps). Precision reloaders also utilize these bullets for custom handloads tailored to specific .22 Hornet rifles, achieving tighter shot groups than factory ammunition. Compatibility with standard .22 Hornet chambers and standard reloading equipment makes this product accessible to both factory-load users and precision-minded handloaders seeking superior terminal effects.
