The Nosler Varmageddon .22 Caliber (.224") 53-Grain Flat Base Polymer Tip 100-count box consists of specialized rifle reloading projectiles engineered explicitly for long-range varmint control, predator hunting, and high-precision handloading. High-volume pest shooting requires flat downrange flight profiles, low wind drift, and consistent barrel-land engagement. Nosler addresses these ballistics needs by pairing a high 0.303 G1 ballistic coefficient with an aerodynamic black polymer tip and a precision-machined flat base, providing an extended bearing surface that maximizes initial chamber alignment and suppresses wobble upon muzzle exit.
The foundational lethality advantage centers on Nosler’s thin, micro-tapered copper-alloy jacket coupled with a lead-alloy core. Upon impact, the black polymer tip acts as a mechanical wedge, driving backward into the lead core to initiate immediate, violent fragmentation. This rapid kinetic transfer neutralizes small predators and varmints instantly while preventing over-penetration or dangerous exit pass-throughs across open fields.
Manufactured in Bend, Oregon, under stringent quality control standards, these component projectiles offer exceptional concentricity and lot-to-lot weight uniformity. Optimized for popular centerfire .22-caliber cartridges—such as the .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .220 Swift, and .224 Valkyrie—the 53-grain Varmageddon bullet provides handloaders with match-grade benchrest accuracy at an accessible price point per box.
Key Benefits
- Aerodynamic Black Polymer Tip: Drives high velocity and flat downrange flight while triggering immediate impact expansion.
- Explosive Terminal Fragmentation: Micro-tapered copper jacket and lead core disintegrate rapidly to eliminate exit pass-throughs.
- Precision Flat-Base Construction: Long bearing surface ensures true barrel alignment for tight benchrest-grade groupings.
- Wide .224 Cartridge Compatibility: Versatile 53-grain weight optimizes handloads for .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, and .220 Swift rifles.
