Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets

Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets

The Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets are precision match-grade projectiles designed for high-volume varmint and predator hunting with .224″ (22 Cal) bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles. Featuring a flat-base (FB) profile and spitzer ogive with a broad hollow point, these bullets deliver rapid expansion, flat trajectory, and consistent accuracy out to 400 yards—perfect for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes.

Each Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullet is manufactured under strict Berger quality control standards, using a concentric copper-alloy jacket around a precision lead core. Total Indicated Runout is maintained within ±0.0001″, delivering uniform muzzle velocity and exceptionally tight groupings—eliminating the need for hand-sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.224″, exact weight of 55 gr, and flat-base design optimized for internal ballistic consistency and throat longevity. The G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.235, with sectional density near 0.178. These bullets stabilize best in barrels with a 1‑12″ twist or faster.

Reloaders favor the Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets for their reliable performance with fast-burning powders like Hodgdon CFE 223, Alliant AR‑Comp, or IMR 8208 XBR. When used with small rifle match primers (CCI BR4 or Federal 205M), they produce low standard deviation velocities and clean throat conditioning—ideal for quick follow-up shots in rapid-fire varmint sessions.

The flat-base and spitzer ogive combination promote consistent internal ballistics and clean feeding, while the hollow-point design ensures explosive terminal performance on thin-skinned targets. Shooters report reliable fragmentation, minimal barrel fouling, and smooth cycling in both magazine-fed and single-shot platforms.

Engineered for precision varmint control, the Berger 22 Cal 55gr FB Varmint Rifle Bullets provide hunters with reliable terminal effect, consistent flight characteristics, and match-grade accuracy—making them a top-tier choice for disciplined small-game shooters.
