Nosler 243 Cal 6mm 80gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct)

The Nosler 243 Cal 6mm 80gr Ballistic Tip Varmint (100ct) is a high-precision bullet component designed for handloaders targeting varmint and small predator control in .243-caliber rifles. Featuring Nosler’s signature red polymer tip and boat-tail profile, this 80-grain projectile delivers flat trajectories, explosive expansion, and razor-sharp accuracy. Each box contains one hundred polished and sorted bullets, prepared for consistent seating.

Crafted with a .243″ bullet diameter and streamlined spitzer boat-tail design, the 243 Cal 6mm 80gr Ballistic Tip Varmint excels in long-range performance with minimal wind drift. The red polymer tip ensures reliable ignition of expansion upon impact, creating rapid fragmenting action suitable for ground squirrels, coyotes, prairie dogs, and other small game. Typical .243 Winchester and 6mm Remington cartridges achieve excellent velocity and terminal results with this bullet.

Technical specifications include a ballistic coefficient (G1) of approximately 0.225 and a sectional density (SD) of 0.180. Measuring around 1.050″ in overall length, it stabilizes readily in 1:10″ or faster twist barrels while ensuring smooth feeding in bolt-action setups. The jacketed lead-alloy core maintains core integrity until expansion, providing consistent accuracy and performance.

In field applications, the 243 Cal 6mm 80gr Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet is praised for its rapid, hydraulic expansion and clean terminal performance. Hunters appreciate its explosive fragmentation on small varmints, leaving precise impact points and minimal exit trauma. The boat-tail design contributes to stable flight, making it suitable for precision varmint target shooting as well.

This is strictly a bullet component—not factory-loaded ammunition. Handloaders should follow Nosler’s official load data and respected reloading manuals for powders such as Hodgdon H‑4895, IMR 4064, or RL 15. Proper case prep, consistent seating depth, and neck tension will ensure reliable pressure and accuracy in varmint cartridges.

Blending red polymer tip precision, boat-tail efficiency, and Nosler’s manufacturing excellence, the 243 Cal 6mm 80gr Ballistic Tip Varmint is a top-tier bullet component for shooters demanding explosive terminal performance and pinpoint accuracy in .243-caliber handloads.
