Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets .22 cal .224" 55 gr FB Varmint 100/ct

Berger Match Grade Varmint Bullets in .22 caliber (.224" diameter, 55 gr) are precision rifle bullets built for reloaders who demand match-quality construction and reliable performance on small game and varmint hunting. These 55-grain flat-base rounds pack a large hollow point designed to deliver rapid expansion on impact—exactly what you need when accuracy and quick, clean kills matter. Whether you're handloading for a dedicated varmint rifle or tuning a precision .223 setup, these bullets earn their reputation among competitive shooters and serious reloaders who refuse to compromise on consistency.

The foundation of Berger's accuracy is the J4 Precision Jacket—thin-walled, concentrically manufactured, and held to extremely tight tolerances that keep Total Indicated Runout (TIR) to ±.0001". That level of control means fewer fliers, tighter groups, and more confidence in your load data across different powder charges and primers. Berger's tangent ogive design makes these bullets straightforward to load, seat, and tune without fighting runout or seating-pressure surprises.

A 100-count box gives you a practical quantity for developing and testing loads before committing to larger batches. If you're working up loads for varmint season or maintaining a competition-grade .22 centerfire, these bullets deliver the match-grade consistency and expansion reliability that separates solid reloads from ammunition you can actually rely on in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles can I use these bullets in?

These are .224" diameter bullets suitable for any .22 centerfire rifle—including .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and other .22 CF cartridges. Always verify compatibility with your specific rifle's dimensions and intended use before loading.

Are these bullets good for hunting?

Yes. The large hollow point is specifically designed for varmint hunting, where rapid expansion is desired for humane, effective performance on small game and predators. They're not intended for big game or tough-skinned animals.

What does the tangent ogive design do?

The tangent ogive profile reduces bullet-to-seating-die friction and makes it easier to achieve consistent seating depth without excessive pressure or runout issues. This helps reloaders achieve more uniform loads and tighter groups.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a practical quantity for load development, testing, and varmint season use.
