The Nosler Varmageddon 6.5mm Creedmoor 90-grain Flat Base Tipped (FB Tipped) Brass 20-round box is a high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for high-volume varmint control, predator hunting, and long-range pest eradication. A primary friction point when shooting varmints and coyotes with standard 6.5 Creedmoor loads is using heavy, slower big game bullets that create excessive recoil, looping trajectories, and over-penetration with minimal energy transfer on small-bodied targets. Nosler resolves these performance challenges by pairing an ultra-lightweight 90-grain projectile with an explosive polymer tip design, maximizing muzzle velocity to flatten trajectories and ensure violent, instantaneous terminal upset.
The primary technical advantage centers on the specialized construction of the 90-grain Varmageddon bullet. Featuring a precision flat base profile, the projectile maximizes bearing surface contact with the barrel rifling to deliver match-grade accuracy at short to medium ranges. The ultra-thin copper-alloy jacket is paired with a sharp black polymer tip that acts as a wedge upon target contact, driving deep into the metallic lead core to initiate explosive, wide-area fragmentation without risk of over-penetration or ricochets in open terrain.
Launching its lightweight 90-grain projectile at an impressive 3,300 FPS, this load minimizes total time-of-flight, dramatically reducing holdover adjustments and wind drift calculations on small, fast-moving targets. Assembled in precision-drawn, reloadable Nosler virgin brass cases fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers and clean-burning propellants, it delivers exceptional shot-to-shot consistency, uniform chamber sealing, and smooth extraction in short-action bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. It is an outstanding, ultra-flat shooting selection for coyotes, prairie dogs, foxes, and feral hogs.
