Gents,

I posted this on the Varmint Hunting forum by mistake... So here it is as a repeat.

Do any of you have any experience with the Barne's Varmint Grenades?

As some of you know, California is going lead-free, and I'm in a position to find a new bullet that is accurate in my rifle(s) and that I can afford to shoot for ground squirrels.

I have (2) 250 packs of the 50gr. Grenades, but my initial testing was a total failure! The twists in my current rifles are too slow to stabilize these bullets and they are tumbling.
100 yard targets show the full bullet profile! This has occurred with both my .22-250, & my .222 Rem.

I've since bought a Ruger Mini-14 Target (before they make them illegal here), and it shoot's 50 & 55 gr lead bullets into an inch @ 100.

I'm looking for feedback and or a proven load that works with these bullets...
