Nosler 7.62x39mm 123gr FB Tipped Varmageddon (100ct)

The Nosler 7.62x39mm 123gr FB Tipped Varmageddon (100ct) is a specialized bullet component designed for handloaders seeking explosive terminal performance and consistent accuracy in 7.62×39mm rifles. Part of Nosler’s Varmageddon series, this 123gr flat-base projectile features a polymer tip and thin, tapered jacket engineered for rapid expansion—making it ideal for high-volume varmint and predator control. Each box includes one hundred polished, weight-sorted bullets ready for precise seating in custom handloads.

Built with a .310″ bullet diameter and a flat-base (FB) Spitzer profile, the 7.62x39mm 123gr FB Tipped Varmageddon achieves high initial velocity and tight short-to-mid-range accuracy. The polymer tip initiates violent expansion upon impact, fragmenting the bullet to deliver maximum shock and energy transfer on small game and varmints. This bullet is tailored for rifles chambered in 7.62×39mm, including bolt-action platforms and semi-automatic variants like the AK and SKS series.

Key specifications include a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.295 and a sectional density (SD) near 0.183. The bullet’s overall length is optimized to function within the COL constraints of standard 7.62×39mm magazines and chambers. Its flat-base design offers excellent base-to-bore alignment for quick pressure buildup, enhancing both precision and velocity consistency across a variety of powder types and charge weights.

In the field, the 7.62x39mm 123gr FB Tipped Varmageddon bullet delivers explosive fragmentation on impact—ideal for groundhogs, coyotes, prairie dogs, and other small predators. Handloaders report excellent terminal performance and consistent expansion within 300 yards. The bullet’s construction ensures minimal pass-through and rapid energy dump, promoting ethical varmint dispatch and high-impact performance in high-volume shooting conditions.

This product is a bullet component only—not factory-loaded ammunition. Handloaders should consult Nosler’s official load data and established reloading manuals. Suitable powders include Hodgdon CFE BLK, Accurate 1680, and IMR 4198—each offering safe and efficient burn rates for optimizing this 123gr bullet’s performance. As always, proper case prep, neck tension, seating depth, and consistent cartridge overall length are vital to achieving reliable accuracy and safe pressures.

Combining Nosler’s precision polymer tip design, flat-base accuracy, and explosive terminal behavior, the 7.62x39mm 123gr FB Tipped Varmageddon bullet component is a superior choice for handloaders targeting varmints and predators with high-volume, ethical precision in 7.62×39mm platforms.
