Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead Free Varmint Rifle Bullets .22 cal .224" 40 gr SPTFB-BTLF 100/ct

Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead Free Varmint Rifle Bullets in .22 caliber (.224") offer a practical solution for shooters operating in lead-free zones or at ranges that restrict traditional ammunition. Built on the same precision and performance foundation that made Ballistic Tip bullets legendary over the past 25 years, these 40-grain rounds deliver the rapid expansion and accuracy you expect—without the lead. They're engineered specifically for varmint and predator hunting applications where non-toxic ammunition is required or preferred.

At the core of each bullet is Nosler's Fragmenting Copper Core Technology. When the metallic-colored polymer tip (caliber-coded for easy identification) strikes your target, it initiates rapid expansion and complete fragmentation, ensuring consistent, effective performance downrange. The ultra-thin copper jacket and flat base design maintain structural integrity during flight, supporting the bench-rest accuracy these bullets are known for—even at the high velocities typical of .22 centerfire loads.

This is a 100-count box, making it convenient for both practice and hunting. Keep in mind that these bullets require a minimum 1-12" twist rate in your rifle's barrel to stabilize properly. If you're reloading for a fast-twist .22 and need lead-free performance without sacrificing terminal ballistics or accuracy, these are a serious option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these .22 Ballistic Tip Lead Free bullets work in my rifle?

Yes, provided your .224" bore rifle has a minimum 1-12" twist rate. Verify your twist rate before loading—insufficient twist will result in bullet instability and poor accuracy.

What's the benefit of lead-free varmint bullets?

Lead-free ammunition allows you to shoot in restricted zones (state land, certain ranges, or lead-free hunting areas) without compromising ballistic performance. These Nosler rounds are designed to deliver the same expansion and accuracy as conventional Ballistic Tips.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a convenient quantity for both practice reloading and field hunting.

What makes Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead Free different from standard varmint bullets?

The Fragmenting Copper Core Technology and the polymeer tip work together to initiate rapid expansion and complete fragmentation on impact. The ultra-thin copper jacket and flat base design support high-velocity accuracy—ideal for fast .22 centerfire loads.
