The Barnes Varmint Grenade is a lead-free reloading bullet designed for varmint and small-predator applications. It uses a copper-tin powdered metal core surrounded by a gilding metal jacket to deliver consistent flight characteristics and controlled fragmentation on impact. The design retains integrity at ultra-high velocities in fast-twist barrels while its frangible core is intended to reduce over-penetration and help preserve pelts.

These bullets are purpose-built for controlled terminal performance in varmint work and small-predator control. Their frangible core and gilding metal jacket provide consistent accuracy; for best results the design has been reported to perform well when seated off the lands by .020". The lead-free construction also addresses regulatory restrictions in jurisdictions that require non-lead projectiles.
