The Nosler 20 Caliber 40 Grain Ballistic Tip Varmint bullet is purpose-built for shooters who demand accuracy and terminal performance on varmints at any range. Whether you're handloading for prairie dogs, coyotes, or other small game, these 250 rounds of .204" bullets deliver the consistency and expansion characteristics that serious varmint hunters rely on. Nosler's Ballistic Tip Varmint line has earned its reputation through field-proven results, and these 40-grain projectiles are no exception.
At the heart of the Ballistic Tip design is the polymer tip—color-coded by caliber for easy identification—that combines with an ultra-thin jacket mouth to produce rapid, violent expansion across a wide velocity range. The gradually thickening jacket wall is engineered to transfer maximum energy to the target while retaining bullet weight, ensuring consistent performance whether you're shooting at close range or stretching shots across open country. The boat-tail Solid Base works in concert with the aerodynamic profile to reduce drag and improve ballistic coefficients, making these bullets a solid choice for long-range varmint work.
Nosler's reputation for match-grade accuracy carries through to these hunting bullets. The uniform construction and precise tolerances mean you can load them with confidence, knowing that each round will perform consistently downrange. The 40-grain weight in .204" diameter sits in the sweet spot for velocity-loving cartridges, making it a natural pairing with popular 20-caliber varmint loads. This 250-round package gives you enough bullets for serious practice, hunting, and load development.
