26 gr Barnes Varmint Grenade

The store had a bunch of these in stock and they were a really good price. I worked up a bunch of loads to test. The weather was less than perfect with crazy winds but I decided to test them anyway. They grouped very well considering the wind. The best group was with 27.5gr of H322 zipping along at 4200 on the Chrony.
I wanted to see real world performance so I loaded up some rounds and went out to the rat patch.
Are they as explosive at the 32gr variety? I still haven't decided but they do work well.
On the plus side the store I got them from had about 40 bags of Winchester .204 brass on the shelf!
