Does anyone else say that like the Terminator would!??

I saw on Barnes website that their newest edition book does not carry data for this bullet(in general all calibers in this model, but I am specifically talking about 50 gr HP FB). Maybe I misread that, but the FAQs say that the bullet is a lead core bullet.

So, do I use general lead core data from the various sources?

Just want to make sure they aren't "special" like many other Barnes bullet models.

Is that a new bullet?



I looked in Barnes 4 and didn't see it. Can't help.

Yes, Cup-n-Core bullet, use jacketed data not solid data.

ACCURATE – EXPLOSIVE – LEAD CORE. Back by popular demand and featuring the explosive DETON-A-TOR™ core. Thies lead-core classic hollow point design utilizes a scored nose cavity. A thin, tapered copper jacket fragments violently on impact vaporizing any varmint in its path.

If I am reading right on the website, it specifically does not list this bullet for load data.

However, it did say "back by popular demand". I know it has been on the market for about 10 years.

The Varminator is very similar to the Varmint Grenade, but is MUCH cheaper.

Use any "jacketed" bullet data you wish, does not have to be Barnes.  Start low and work up.
