Berger 20 Cal 35gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets

Berger 20 Cal 35gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets

The Berger 20 Cal 35gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets are high-precision, match-grade projectiles developed for serious varmint hunters and competitive small-caliber shooters. Designed for .204″ (20 Cal) rifles, these bullets feature a flat-base (FB) tangent ogive profile with an oversized hollow point for explosive terminal performance, flat trajectories, and repeatable sub-MOA precision out to 400 yards.

Each bullet is built with Berger’s signature J4 precision jacket, maintaining total indicated runout (TIR) within ±0.0001″–±0.0003″. This level of concentricity ensures perfect core alignment and aerodynamic balance, producing exceptionally consistent flight characteristics and eliminating the need for sorting. The result is higher hit probability and extreme accuracy in high-volume varmint hunting.

Key specifications include a 0.204″ bullet diameter, 35-grain weight, and a flat-base construction designed for improved internal consistency and minimal throat erosion. The bullet’s G1 ballistic coefficient is 0.179 with a sectional density of 0.120. Measuring 0.596″ in overall length, these bullets require a 1:14″ twist rate or faster for optimal stabilization and accuracy.

Reloaders choose the Berger 20 Cal 35gr FB Varmint bullets for their flexibility and consistency across multiple load setups. They perform exceptionally with Hodgdon CFE 223, Alliant AR-Comp, and IMR 8208 XBR powders, paired with match-grade small rifle primers like the CCI BR4 or Federal 205M. These combinations deliver tight velocity spreads, clean ignition, and superb accuracy across bolt-action and semi-auto platforms.

The flat-base design enhances internal ballistics by producing consistent pressure curves and minimizing barrel wear. Meanwhile, the large hollow point cavity ensures rapid expansion and predictable fragmentation on thin-skinned targets such as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes. The result is devastating terminal performance and reliable function for both precision shooters and varmint professionals.

Built for precision and real-world performance, the Berger 20 Cal 35gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets combine meticulous J4 manufacturing with proven field results. Their blend of accuracy, explosive expansion, and consistency makes them a leading choice for shooters who demand superior performance from small-caliber varmint rifles.
