Barnes Varmint Grenade Bullets, .22 Caliber 50gr

Barnes Varmint Grenade Bullets, .22 Caliber 50gr (Barnes part no. 30201) are built to fragment explosively on impact, a deliberate design choice for varmint and predator hunters who want maximum energy transfer with minimal exit-wound damage. Because these bullets fragment at high velocity instead of passing through, hunters can salvage pelts intact and, if they choose, sell them afterward. Barnes builds the core from a copper/tin composite rather than lead, which keeps this bullet both extremely accurate and compliant with the Condor Preservation Act and California’s lead-free ammunition requirements.

Key Specifications

• .22 Caliber is the bore diameter Barnes machined this bullet for, matching .22-caliber varmint rifles.
• 50 grains is this bullet’s weight, light and fast for the flat trajectories varmint hunting favors.
• 250 per box is the quantity included, sized for a high-volume varmint or predator season.
• Explosive fragmentation on impact is this bullet’s core design goal, built for maximum energy transfer rather than penetration.
• No exit wound is the practical result of that fragmentation, which lets hunters keep pelts intact.
• Copper/tin composite core replaces a lead core entirely, which is what makes this bullet both accurate and lead-free.
• Lead-free compliance meets both the Condor Preservation Act and California’s lead-free ammunition requirements.
• High-velocity design is what triggers the fragmentation effect this bullet is built around.
• Small and large game use covers both light varmints and larger predators, per Barnes’s own packaging.
