Barnes Varmint Grenade .223 (foxes gonna hate these)

Have been on to Tannyoky asking can they get these rounds in for
me.
They got on to the rep straight away whom says they shoot really
well and are very very popular in the USA.
I am really after them as they are highly frangible like the
V-MAX, only better.
The foxes are running/lying amongst the sheep and i don't want
to take any chances in damaging the flock after a shot.
Fair play to Cecil for getting them anyway.
Look at the Youtube link below.!

I had done a fair bit of research into these sharpshooter and
discovered that Barnes made the bullets but didn't sell them
ready to fire loaded.
Barnes make bullets in America for military so that they can
fire for example on a street without the risk or at least a less
chance of a ricochet.
They also make a round called the Barnes MPG (multi purpose
green) which is as frangible, green meaning containing no lead
which are all they are allowed to use(lead free).
I eventually discovered that the only company that loaded and
sold a factory round to the UK are a ammo company called Black
Hill.
The company that brings them into the U.K. are called Edgar
Brothers whom supply military etc.
When i emailed them to find out did they supply any gun dealers
over here in N.I. and if they didn't and the dealer did make
contact them, could they order the rounds and bring them
over for me.? They thankfully said that Tannyoky has an account
with them for Ammunition as it seems Edgars supply all Brands.
I rang the bowl Cecil today and (how lucky is this) the agent
from Edgars was in the shop!!! Cecil asked him about the rounds
and the man, whom i could here answering said they are very very
accurate round with great results. Apparently they go mad for
them in U.S.A. so Cecil being the legend he is ordered them in
straight away for me.(us)
I'm over the moon.
Varmint Grenade .223 36g, which should be in in a few
weeks!!!!!!! Hope they work well with my gun!

Was in Young guns tonight and Mervyn has a few boxes of bullet
heads for the grenades for .223 in both 50gr and 36gr (didn't
know you could get a 36gr) i think they were £40 for a hundred.
I haven't even got my licence for the .223 yet and I picked a
box up..

They are yet to come in, but are due soon. I knew you could by
the Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet tips, but my problem was i
don't load myself so wanted to buy them loaded and all Davesson.
Cant wait to give them a try.
