What Makes This Different
Nosler's Ballistic Tip Varmint bullets feature a color-coded polycarbonate tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining flight stability. The tapered jacket design ensures controlled fragmentation that transfers maximum energy to small game targets. Premium brass cases and carefully selected powders deliver velocities exceeding 3400 fps with minimal velocity deviation shot-to-shot.

Field testing shows this load maintaining sub-1.5 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles at 100 yards. The 70-grain bullet weight provides excellent wind-bucking ability for prairie dog towns and long-range coyote hunting. Rapid expansion characteristics make clean kills on varmints while minimizing pelt damage for fur hunters.
