Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets

The Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets are precision-engineered projectiles crafted for varmint and small-game hunters seeking consistent accuracy and explosive terminal performance from .224″ caliber platforms. Designed with a flat-base profile and a streamlined spitzer point, these bullets deliver exceptional accuracy and rapid energy transfer on impact, ideal for pest control at short to moderate distances.

Each Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullet is built with Berger’s renowned manufacturing precision, incorporating a high-strength copper jacket and precision-formed lead core. These components ensure uniformity in weight, shape, and concentricity, with Total Indicated Runout held within ±0.0002″. This translates into sub-MOA potential for rifles chambered in 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, and other .224″ caliber varmint platforms.

With a bullet diameter of 0.224″ and a flat-base design, the Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets are optimized for rapid stabilization in common barrel twist rates such as 1-12″ or 1-14″. The overall length is approximately 0.600″, with a sectional density of 0.118 and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.190. These specs yield flat trajectories and predictable wind behavior for shots ranging from 100 to 300 yards.

Handloaders favor the Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets for their ease of tuning and exceptional terminal performance. When paired with fast-burning powders like Hodgdon Benchmark or Alliant 2200 and small rifle primers such as CCI 400 or Federal 205, these bullets consistently produce tight groups and explosive impact on thin-skinned game like prairie dogs and ground squirrels. The flat base design supports uniform pressure against case mouths and ensures repeatable bullet seating depth.

The Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets also excel in high-volume shooting environments. Their construction promotes minimal fouling, and the non-boat-tail profile contributes to extended barrel life. Shooters using AR-style rifles or lightweight bolt guns report excellent feeding reliability, especially in magazines and semi-automatic platforms designed around .224 projectiles.

Known for their immediate expansion and energy release upon impact, the Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets have become a trusted choice for field use across diverse terrain types. Whether used from a bipod on open prairie or in quick follow-up shots from an AR-15, these bullets deliver fast, humane dispatching of small varmints with minimal over-penetration risk.

Overall, the Berger 22 Cal 40gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets provide precision shooters and predator hunters with a top-tier option for varmint control, balancing accuracy, terminal performance, and manufacturing consistency in every shot.
