Nosler 22 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct) is a high-performance bullet component tailored for varmint hunters and precision handloaders focused on flat trajectory, rapid expansion, and aerodynamic consistency in .22-caliber platforms. This is strictly a bullet-only component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 100 bullets crafted for cartridges such as 223 Remington, 22‑250 Remington, and 224 Valkyrie used in pest control and precision shooting.

Designed with Nosler’s Ballistic Tip Varmint profile, the 22 Cal 40gr bullet features a polymer tip and streamlined boat-tail ogive to optimize ballistic coefficient and reduce drag. The polymer tip enhances flight stability and improves ignition, while the hollow-point design ensures quick fragmentation for effective terminal performance on small game and predators.

Machined to a diameter of 0.224″ with an overall length near 0.850″, the 22 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet stabilizes best in barrels with a 1:12″ or faster twist rate. It offers a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.280 and a sectional density near 0.130—supporting flat trajectories, retained velocity, and reliable wind resistance typical for varmint ranges.

Reloaders report tight groupings and consistent velocities when using powders like Hodgdon Benchmark, IMR 8208 XBR, or Accurate 2230 with this bullet. The 22 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint feeds smoothly from magazines, cycles reliably, and chambers cleanly in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles optimized for rapid varmint shooting.

This bullet component requires assembly with quality brass, primers, and powder using verified load data and safe reloading practices. Nosler’s rigorous manufacturing standards—including jacket concentricity inspection, weight sorting, and visual checks—ensure each 22 Cal 40gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet meets match-grade expectations for precision, expansion, and high-volume field performance.
