Barnes Varminator 6mm 58gr Hollow Point Bullets
Barnes Varminator bullets deliver explosive performance for varmint hunting. Lead core with scored hollow point and thin jacket fragments violently on impact for prairie dogs, squirrels, and small game.
Barnes Varminator Bullets: Purpose-Built Varmint Performance
The Barnes Varminator represents a time-tested approach to small-game and varmint hunting. These 58-grain projectiles are engineered specifically for the demands of prairie dog towns, ground squirrel colonies, and similar hunting scenarios where explosive terminal performance matters.
Design and Construction
Core Features:
- Lead core construction for reliable weight and ballistics
- Scored hollow point cavity for controlled fragmentation
- Thin, tapered jacket designed to separate on impact
- Classic varmint bullet geometry
Terminal Performance
The thin jacket and hollow point design work in concert to deliver what Barnes calls "violent fragmentation." Upon impact, the bullet breaks apart quickly, transferring energy to the target rather than over-penetrating. This characteristic makes the Varminator particularly effective on small, lightly-built game where traditional hunting bullets would be overkill.
Practical Applications
These bullets excel in:
- Prairie dog hunting
- Ground squirrel control
- Varmint shooting at extended ranges
- Training and target work where explosive impact is desired
