Powder for barnes bullets

[Rick65Cat]

I was on the Barnes bullets site, and they list only 2 powders for the .224 dia. 36gr "varmint grenades". Tac, and Benchmark.
Surely theres other powders/load info for these bullets. I don't want to buy a pound to use up 100 bullets. If I can use my existing powders, I'll do it.

I got the message from a buddy that these bullets won't give me the visual results that my Vmax bullets do.
