The Nosler Varmageddon 22 caliber 40-grain bullets deliver explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting applications. These flat base tipped projectiles combine Nosler's precision manufacturing with an aggressive expansion design that maximizes energy transfer on impact.
What Makes This Different
The Varmageddon series features a specialized polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon contact, creating devastating wound channels in small game and varmints. Unlike standard hollow point designs, the flat base construction provides consistent accuracy while the tipped configuration ensures reliable expansion even at extended ranges. The 40-grain weight offers an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for 22 caliber applications.
Key Features
- Polymer tip design ensures consistent expansion and maximum energy transfer
- Flat base construction provides excellent accuracy and easy loading
- 40-grain weight optimized for high velocity 22 caliber cartridges
- Precision-manufactured jacket delivers uniform performance shot after shot
- Lead core construction maximizes expansion and stopping power
- 100-count bulk packaging reduces cost per round
- Compatible with popular 22 caliber cartridges including .223 Remington and .22-250
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain accuracy while delivering explosive terminal performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized varmints. The polymer tip initiates expansion at impact velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making them effective across various hunting distances. Weather-resistant construction ensures consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions.
