Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets .22 cal .224" 52 gr FB Varmint 100/ct
Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets in .22 caliber (.224" diameter, 52 grain) are engineered for reloaders who demand precision and terminal performance in a compact package. Built with Berger's signature Match Grade quality, these 100-count boxes deliver the consistency that competitive shooters and serious varmint hunters expect. The large hollow-point design initiates rapid expansion on impact, making these bullets a natural choice for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small game where quick, effective kills matter.
What sets these .22 varmint rounds apart is the construction quality behind them. Berger uses J4 Precision Jackets—thin, concentrically drawn jackets trusted across the reloading and custom bullet-making world—paired with a tangent ogive profile that plays well with most .22 rifle chambers. The result is a bullet that's forgiving to load and tune, yet capable of delivering repeatable accuracy when you need it. Tight manufacturing tolerances and a Total Indicated Runout (TIR) specification of +/- .0001" mean you're starting with consistent, balanced projectiles every time you seat one.
For reload-your-own shooters working in .22 centerfire or who have a favorite .22 rifle that deserves quality ammunition, these match-grade varmint bullets give you control over your load development while maintaining the terminal performance that makes the difference in the field. Whether you're rounding out your reloading bench or pushing your accuracy limits, Berger's proven design and construction make the investment worthwhile.
