    Barnes Varmint Grenades

    Want to try some of these in my 223 just for shits and giggles.

    Anyone tried these before?

    Berger specs recommend a 1:10 or faster, but my 223 is a 1:12.
    Should I still give them a go?

    Sounds like the 50gr will be no good for my twist rate, so I'll have to try some 36gr pills.

    Save your money and buy some TNT's or Vmax - you will never notice any difference in splat and they are nice and cheap + accurate

    I've tried them up to about 4200fps years ago and they did nothing any other varmint bullet does.

    Good marketing
    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

    I'm using 55gr V-Max at the moment with good effects, but thought those grenades might be more spectacular.

    TNT's?? will look into them.
