Nosler 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon (250ct)

The Nosler 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon (250ct) is a purpose-built bullet component for precision-oriented handloaders and varmint hunters. This 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon projectile combines a flat-base hollow-point (FBHP) design with explosive terminal performance, crafted specifically for cartridges like 17 Hornet, 17 Mach 2, and 17 HMR. With 250 bullets in the package, it offers superb value for varmint shooters who demand reliable field performance and bolt-action or AR-type rifle compatibility.

Each 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon bullet features a thin-jacketed mouth that ensures violent fragmentation upon impact, balanced by a stronger mid-jacket for structural integrity before breakup. The flat-base (FB) geometry supports flight stability at short to mid ranges and consistent seating during reloading. This design, together with the hollow-point (HP) configuration, enhances terminal effect while maintaining accuracy in barrels with a 1:9″ twist rate or faster.

Key ballistic characteristics of the 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon include an estimated ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.148 and a sectional density of about 0.071. These values allow the lightweight 20gr bullet to achieve muzzle velocities over 4,500 fps, resulting in flat trajectories and energetic expansion—well-suited for small-game targets like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and small predators out to extended distances.

Manufactured with Nosler’s strict quality control measures, each 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon bullet is held to tight tolerances in weight, jacket concentricity, and base-to-ogive consistency. This ensures shot-to-shot uniformity during high-volume shooting sessions or benchrest precision work. The 250ct count supports both training loads and field packs, giving reloaders flexibility and dependability.

This product is a bullet component for handloading only and is not loaded ammunition. It does not include primers, powder, or brass. The Nosler 17 Cal 20gr FBHP Varmageddon (250ct) provides reloaders with a high-speed, high-impact projectile that delivers razor-sharp precision and terminal effectiveness. With its blend of lightweight speed, flat-base stability, and hollow-point expansion, this bullet is an excellent choice for small-caliber varmint applications.
