Nosler 20 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct)

The Nosler 20 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct) is a premium bullet component engineered for precision handloaders and varmint hunters using 20-caliber platforms. This .204″ caliber projectile features Nosler’s iconic polymer Ballistic Tip, a streamlined boat-tail, and a finely tuned jacket-to-core ratio—designed to deliver rapid expansion, flat trajectory, and controlled fragmentation. Packaged in a 100-count box, it is tailored for high-performance reloading in systems like the 20 Vartarg, 20 BR, 204 Ruger, and other 20‑caliber cartridges.

The polymer tip on each 20 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet initiates immediate expansion upon impact. Behind the tip is an ultra-thin jacket mouth for fast fragmentation, reinforced mid-section for structural integrity, and a boat-tail base to stabilize flight. This configuration supports high accuracy and aerodynamic efficiency, making it effective across varied ranges and optimal for barrels with a minimum 1:12″ twist rate.

Key specifications include a 40gr weight, a ballistic coefficient (G1) near 0.285, and a sectional density of approximately 0.141. With precise .204″ diameter machining, these bullets offer consistent performance and snug seating in cases. They deliver high muzzle velocities (often exceeding 4,000 fps) while maintaining flat trajectories, making them ideal for engaging small game such as prairie dogs or ground squirrels.

Reloaders using the 20 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet reap the benefits of Nosler’s tight quality standards. Each bullet is produced under strict tolerances for weight consistency, concentricity, and base-to-ogive uniformity, ensuring repeatable shot-to-shot accuracy. The combination of explosive expansion and high speed makes it effective in both short-range pest control and competition varmint matches.

This product is strictly a bullet component for handloading, not loaded ammunition. It does not include powder, primers, or brass. The Nosler 20 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct) offers exceptional terminal performance, ballistic precision, and consistency. It is an outstanding choice for serious reloaders and hunters seeking lightweight, high-velocity projectiles for effective varmint and small-game applications.
