I was just watching random videos on youtube when I came across this!!! I haven't heard anything about this, or even read anything on here about it. What do you guys think?
Powdered metal, lead-free core. Lighter than lead of course, but they are supposed to fragment 'explosively' so thin skinned and varmints are best. There is also a similar technology used in a 'tactical green' bullet they make, but the acronym evades me now, something like 'MPG'... wait, I think that is actually it - multi-purpose green; thicker jackets help for better penetration. Damn I am good!

Are you talking about a rimfire or centerfire? ,,,sam.
Varmint Grenade® | Barnes Bullets I'm guessing both if you reload, but searching on the black hills ammunition website it looks like they only make centerfire ammo. Black Hills Ammunition Looking on their site, in the "factory new" then under "rifle", is the .223. It lists a varmint grenade. Under "black hills gold" they have varmint grenades for the 22-250 and .243. So take your pick.

it is centerfire only, unless some one knows something i dont you cannot reload rimfire ammunition due to the fact the primer is not removable.
The only experience I had with the varmint bombs,a friend was using 50gr in a 1in19twist and said he had flyer problems.I tried some in a 1in12twist and they didn't work.I couldn't tell any real difference in terminal ballistics on woodchucks between them and Hornady V-Max at any range out to 400yds+.Since Hornady is cheaper,I will stick with them. ,,,sam.
I tried them out in my .204 ruger but found them to be inaccurate in my rifle. My buddy's rifle performed better with them. I am sticking with the hornady and Sierra bullets for my CZ
Tried VGs in a couple different .22 cal rifles...none of which performed well. Also tried them in my .204 Rugers and again they aren't impressive. There are cheaper more effective varmint bullets in both calibers.
the Barnes Varmint Grenade is the only non lead bullet we have for the .223. It's OK but due to a BC of .149 it isn't all that stable. We all miss our V-Max
and some 22-250's can shoot the heavier bullets due to twist rates!
But... when you get to the .30 cal bullets, they are killer!
I used the 62g barnes Varmint Grenades in my 6mm on P-dogs last spring and they performed real well for me. I used 41.5g of IMR4064 and got good splats on them pups.
I have some 50g's to try out in my 22-250 when I get it all set up and dialed in.
