CORBON is now loading the Barnes Varmint Grenade bullets in several calibers: .204, .22-250 and .223. If you are not already familiar with the Varmint Grenade bullets, they are a line of rifle bullets with a copper-tin core that holds together at very high speeds, but violently fragments on impact. As the name suggests, the Varmint Grenade bullets are excellent for varmints from prarie dogs up to bobcat and coyote size.
In the CORBON loading, .204 Ruger, a 26 grain Varmint Grenade leaves the muzzle at 4200 fps and generates 1019 ft-lbs of energy.
In .223 Remington, the CORBON loaded 36 grain Varmint is moving at 3600 fps and generates 1036 ft-lbs of energy. In the same caliber, with a 50 grain bullet, the Vermint Grenade is traveling at 3000 fps and generates energy of 999 ft-lbs.
The CORBON .22-250 Remington launches a 36 grain Varmint Grenade at a smoking 4300 fps for 1478 ft-lbs of energy.
