The Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint .22-250 Remington 55-grain Polymer Tip Brass 20-round box is an ultra-high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for long-range varmint hunting and predator control. A primary friction point when shooting small-bodied targets at extended ranges is maintaining flat trajectories and aerodynamic stability without sacrificing violent, instant fragmentation upon impact. Nosler resolves this performance tradeoff by combining an ultra-slick polymer-tipped boat-tail projectile with a custom-tapered jacket, ensuring laser-flat flight paths and explosive energy dissipation downrange.
The core technical advantage relies on the specialized construction of the Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet. Featuring a Spitzer polymer tip paired with a streamlined boat-tail base, the 55-grain projectile yields a 0.267 G1 ballistic coefficient that cuts through air resistance to minimize wind drift and drop. Upon target impact, the hard polymer tip acts as a hydraulic wedge, driving deep into the ultra-pure lead core to trigger immediate, explosive fragmentation. The jacket features a graduated wall thickness—thin at the nose for instant expansion, yet thicker at the base to resist stress deformation during high-G acceleration.
Launching its 55-grain polymer-tipped projectile at a blistering muzzle velocity of 3,550 FPS, this .22-250 Rem load delivers laser-flat trajectories and repeatable point-of-impact accuracy across open fields. Assembled in world-renowned, fully reloadable Nosler virgin brass cases fitted with non-corrosive primers and clean-burning propellants, it maintains uniform chamber pressure curves and smooth feeding. It is an ideal choice for prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, and long-range varmint pursuit where pinpoint precision and violent terminal performance are required.
Key Benefits
- Polymer Tip Mechanical Initiation: Drives backward into the lead core on contact to deliver violent, instantaneous terminal fragmentation on varmints.
