What about copper build up? Does he have a problem with a lot of copper deposits inside the barrel as compared to other bullets?

I hope to try these bullets out as well because when 'yote hunting often fox come in and from the reports in Balistic Gel they may disinigrate in the fox and minimize exit holes. WOuld love to hear a report on a 223 grenade launched into some fox.

I was reading or watching something, and it said that the bullet is so fragile, it will explode if you shoot a grape.

Varmint Grenades are WORTH IT! They are a great bullet. They just vaporize prarie dogs. They have a very brittle core and a a hollow pocket in the top of the bullet. They explode! Barnes has a video on their website of it hitting a grape. here's the URL:
