We shot about 1000 rounds of the varmint grenades last year (condor zone in California) and were very disappointed, they did not seem consistent at all, one would explode and the next one would appear to offer minimal expansion. I have a big case of the nosler 40 lead free and will be posting results in a few weeks.

For non lead the Calhoons are the most destructive slugs I have seen in .223. The all time splatter king is a .35 whelen with the 125 jhp cruising at only 2800fps, absolutley explosive.


Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
