Anyone use varmint grenades?

[DPontius]

I got 200 to try on some prairie dogs next month, just wondering what experiences you guys have had with them? I'll be loading the 26 grainers for my .204. What kind of groups and damage have you seen with them as compared to v-maxes or blitzkings?

shooting times in the uk did a comprhensive test using the grenades, v maxs , noslers and the blitzkings, shooting into balistic gels , believe it or not the bullet that expanded least was the varmint grenade though it did penetrate furthur. the v maxes expanded the best. i tried a box my self after watching the u tube clips- the 36g in my .223 527 varmint and could not get them to shoot as well as the ballistic tips, for me anyway they were no more destructive than the 50g v maxes.

Try some Speer TNT's. They shot great in my 223. Very destructive. I'm almost positive they make a .20 version.
