Nosler 22 Cal 55gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (250ct)

The Nosler 22 Cal 55gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (250ct) is a high-precision bullet component designed for handloaders seeking flat trajectories, explosive terminal performance, and match-grade quality in .22-caliber rifle platforms. This is strictly bullet-only—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box includes 250 bullets optimized for varmint hunting and target shooting in cartridges like 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 224 Valkyrie.

Featuring Nosler’s match-proven Ballistic Tip design, the 22 Cal 55gr Varmint bullet combines a polymer tip with a boat-tail profile to deliver enhanced ballistic coefficients and stable flight. The polymer tip reduces drag and improves the ogive’s aerodynamics, while the hollow cavity promotes controlled expansion—yielding devastating energy transfer on small game and predatory pests.

Machined to 0.224″ in diameter with an overall length near 0.900″, this projectile stabilizes efficiently in barrels with 1:12″ or faster twist rates. Its G1 ballistic coefficient is approximately 0.310, and it carries a sectional density of around 0.142—metrics that support flat shooting and reliable energy retention over typical varmint distances.

Reloaders report outstanding results when using powders such as Hodgdon Benchmark, IMR 8208 XBR, or Accurate 2230 with the 22 Cal 55gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet. Shooters consistently achieve tight groupings, smooth magazine-length seating, and reliable cycling in bolt-action and semi-auto rifles setup for precision. The bullet feeds effectively even in rapid-fire scenarios, maintaining stable velocities and shot-to-shot accuracy.

This projectile is intended for reloaders who use quality brass, primers, and powder in accordance with verified load data. Nosler’s stringent manufacturing standards—including jacket concentricity checks, visual inspection, and lot-specific weight sorting—ensure each 22 Cal 55gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet meets performance expectations for accuracy, consistent expansion, and long-range varmint efficiency.
