Chamfer the case neck! Use the right Powder!I just crushed two case necks and had a heck of a time getting the bullets to seat in the rest of the new brass. I didn't chamfer them first which is on me, but wow, hard to seat. The ogive is set back as well (bullets are more blunt) than the berger targets I was loading "to the same depth" but actually seated them too deeply. Hopefully you all are more careful than I am.
Also, the bullets are looooong. Make sure the powder you use isn't too voluminous.
Hopefully when I finally get some loaded I can update with the performance.

Nice Bullets, <1MOA with 50 grI loaded 25 of these bullets in 5- 5 shot groups in 1x fired brass with Varget powder. I used the Barnes load data and the middle charges were less than 1 MOA. I used an AR with 1 in 7 twist barrel, nothing fancy. Next time out I'll try to tune the load even better.

Rough finish on jacketsThere were more folded grooves, scratches, dents, bent bullets and misformed points than any bullets I have ever purchased. The idea of a long point to increase BC and light weight to fly fast attracted me to these bullets. The Hornady NTX plastic tipped bullets are a better alternative even though the tips melt and destroy accruacy at distant targets..
I have been handloading since 1966 and because I belong to a club, shoot weekly. I shoot thousands of bullets a year. .

Mind your twist rateFour points -
1. These bullets are long - the box for 50 grain 22 caliber specifies a minimum 1:10 twist
2. They vary in weight (from my sample -4/10's to + 8/10's)
3. Barnes recommended a .020 jump, which I ultimately used
4. Know that your rifle is a sub MOA performer to begin with or you will be frustrated in your effort
I wanted to use this bullet to minimize the possibility of ricochets and my shooting partner observed/heard none from the over hundred rounds fired.
I initially tried the 36 grain bullets in a 1:14 222 Remington without success.
The photo is a 3 shot group from a 223 bolt rifle with a 1:9 twist fired from a bench.
For liability purposes I've elected not to show the charge weight though I will share that the primer was a CCI Standard Small Rifle and the propellant was Varget.

Sub MOA at 100 yardsI have used Barnes bullets for Elk in 300 Winchester Mag and 30-06 and have had good results on one shot kills and accuracy.
Last fall I loaded up the 50 grain "Varmint G" in my Sako A7 .233 Varmint rifle for Coyotes and Bobcats. Accuracy was sub MOA and I never shot through a Coyote or Bobcat, pelts had one small entry hole.
Great Bullet...

fantastic "non lead" bulletI purchased the varmint grenades because , in Califoprnis, I soon will not be allowed to hunt with lead bullets. I've worked up several loads. My 22 hornet with 30 gr varmint grenades will shoot 7/16 groups reliably at 100 yds. The bullets haven't yet passed through any jackrabbits I've shot. I'm using 36 gr bullets in my bolt action varmint rifle and the 50 gr bullets in my 1 in 8 twist AR. It took some work, but I'm getting some fantastic 100 yd groups with both rifles. I had read several posts online that claimed the grenades were not capable of good groups, guess the folks that made the posts didn't try hard enough to get a good load.
