Nosler 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped Varmageddon (250ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped Varmageddon (250ct) is a specialized bullet component engineered for varmint hunters and precision hand loaders who require explosive terminal performance, flat-trajectory flight, and consistent accuracy in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is strictly a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 250 bullets ideal for cartridges like 223 Remington, 22‑250 Remington, and 224 Valkyrie.

Featuring Nosler’s full-base hollow-point boat-tail (FB Tipped) Varmageddon design, the 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped bullet combines a polymer tip with a boat-tail ogive to enhance ballistic coefficient and flight stability. The hollow-point cavity ensures controlled fragmentation, resulting in rapid expansion and effective terminal performance on small game and pests.

Manufactured to a precise 0.224″ diameter with an overall length near 0.850″, this projectile stabilizes effectively in barrels with 1:12″ or faster twist rates. The 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped Varmageddon bullet carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.280 and a sectional density near 0.130—supporting flat trajectories, reliable retained energy, and wind-resistant flight common to varmint ranges.

Reloaders using the 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped bullet with powders such as Hodgdon Benchmark, IMR 8208 XBR, or Accurate 2230 report consistent velocities, tight groupings, and dependable magazine-length seating. The geometry promotes smooth feeding and clean cycling in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles tuned for rapid varmint shooting scenarios.

This bullet component must be handloaded with quality brass, primers, and powder using verified load data and safe practices. Nosler’s quality assurance—including tip alignment inspection, jacket concentricity checks, and lot-specific weight sorting—ensures each 22 Cal 40gr FB Tipped Varmageddon bullet meets match-grade expectations for accuracy, terminal performance, and high-volume field use.
