The Nosler 65165 Varmageddon ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for varmint hunters demanding precision and explosive expansion. This 243 Winchester load features a 55-grain flat base tipped bullet engineered for maximum devastation on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small game.
What Makes This Different
The Varmageddon line stands apart from standard varmint loads through its specialized bullet construction combining a lead-alloy core with a copper-alloy jacket and polymer tip. While traditional hollow points may fail to expand at longer ranges, the tipped design ensures consistent expansion even at reduced velocities. The flat base configuration provides excellent accuracy potential while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to boat tail designs.
Key Features

Field performance shows this ammunition excels in prairie dog towns and ground squirrel colonies where quick, clean kills prevent wounded animals from escaping into burrows. The 55-grain weight provides sufficient velocity for flat trajectory out to 300 yards while the tipped bullet design ensures dramatic expansion that drops varmints instantly. Weather-resistant powder and primer sealing maintain reliability across temperature extremes common during varmint seasons.
