The Nosler Varmageddon 36763 delivers explosive terminal performance specifically engineered for varmint hunting applications. This 22 caliber projectile combines proven flat base design with polymer tip technology to maximize accuracy and devastating expansion on small game targets.
What Makes This Different
The Varmageddon features Nosler's specialized lead-alloy core paired with a thin jacket wall that promotes rapid fragmentation upon impact. Unlike standard varmint bullets that may over-penetrate, this design ensures maximum energy transfer within the target zone. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,600 fps while maintaining structural integrity during high-velocity launches exceeding 4,000 fps.
Key Features
- 35-grain weight optimized for .22 caliber cartridges including .223 Rem and .22-250
- Polymer tip design initiates consistent expansion across velocity ranges
- Flat base configuration provides stable flight characteristics and simplified loading
- Thin jacket construction maximizes fragmentation on varmint-sized targets
- Lead-alloy core engineered for controlled weight retention and energy transfer
- Precision-manufactured to +/- 0.003" diameter tolerance for accuracy
- 100-count packaging reduces cost per round for high-volume shooting
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy when loaded with appropriate powder charges and seating depths. The flat base design simplifies reloading procedures compared to boat-tail variants while maintaining excellent downrange performance to 300 yards. This bullet excels in prairie dog towns, ground squirrel colonies, and crow roosts where rapid follow-up shots demand reliable feeding and extraction.
