BERGER .224 40G VARM FB 100CT

The Berger .224 40-grain Varmint bullets deliver match-grade precision in a compact package built for high-velocity rimfire and centerfire loads. Whether you're loading for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or other small game, these hollow-point rounds are engineered to expand reliably on impact and drop varmints cleanly. A 100-count box gives you plenty of ammunition for a day at the range or a season of predator work without constant restocking.

Built with Berger's J4 Precision Jackets—the same tooling trusted by competitive shooters and serious handloaders worldwide—these bullets combine tight manufacturing tolerances with a design that's straightforward to load and tune. The tangent ogive profile means less seating frustration and more time actually shooting. That level of consistency pays off downrange, where small variations in bullet runout can throw off your groups or cost you a clean hit in the field.

Varmint hunting often means long shots and fast follow-ups; every margin matters. The large hollow point cavity initiates expansion quickly, so you're not relying on velocity alone to anchor your target. Pair these with your favorite .224 powder and primers, and you've got the foundation for loads that shoot tight groups and perform when it counts.
