Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets .17 Cal .172" 25 Gr Fb 200/Box

If you're loading ammunition for varmint hunting or precision rimfire competition, Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets in .17 caliber deliver the accuracy and expansion you need to make clean, ethical shots on small game. These .172" 25-grain projectiles are engineered to the same exacting standards as Berger's match-grade competition bullets, which means you're getting precision-grade construction—not afterthought varmint ammo—in a package designed specifically for rapid, reliable terminal performance on foxes, prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small-to-medium predators and pests.

Each bullet features a thin-nosed J4 Precision Jacket that initiates expansion quickly upon impact, ensuring that energy transfers efficiently and your hits count. The Match Grade designation isn't marketing fluff: it reflects Berger's commitment to consistent bullet weight, concentricity, and aerodynamic uniformity. That consistency translates directly to tighter groups, more predictable trajectories, and extended effective lethal range—advantages that matter whether you're hunting from a blind at 100 yards or taking longer shots across open country.

The box contains 200 bullets, giving you plenty of load development rounds and field-ready ammunition without constant restocking. Handloaders serious about varmint work will appreciate the quality control that comes with Match Grade; you'll spend less time sorting and more time shooting accurately.
