The Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint .22 caliber bullets are purpose-built for handloaders who demand match-grade accuracy and reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities. Each box contains 100 rounds of .224" 40-grain spitzer point projectiles designed to handle the speed and precision required for consistent varmint hunting performance, whether you're working with fast .22-250 Remington loads or moderate velocity cartridges.
What sets the Ballistic Tip Varmint apart is its aerodynamic polymer tip—color-coded by caliber for easy identification—paired with an ultra-thin jacket mouth engineered to initiate rapid, violent expansion at either end of the velocity scale. The jacket itself features a gradually thickening wall that manages energy transfer precisely, retaining maximum weight through impact while the ballistically-engineered solid base supports large-diameter mushroom formation. This combination means you get predictable terminal performance whether your shot connects at close range or extends downrange.
The boat-tail configuration improves long-range ballistics and simplifies reloading, giving handloaders a bullet that seats consistently and performs from press to field. For anyone building custom loads in .22 centerfire cartridges—whether hunting prairie dogs, coyotes, or other varmints—these rounds deliver the accuracy and expansion characteristics serious hunters expect from a Nosler product.
