If you hunt varmints or predators in lead-free zones or at ranges that restrict lead ammunition, the Nosler Ballistic Tip Lead-Free (BTLF) 22 caliber varmint bullets deliver the explosive performance you've come to expect from Ballistic Tips, now engineered without lead. Built on Nosler's proprietary Fragmenting Copper Core Technology, these 35-grain spitzer bullets feature a color-coded polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion on impact, ensuring immediate and complete fragmentation for clean, ethical shots on small game and predators.
The ultra-thin copper jacket combined with the flat base design keeps these rounds stable in flight and capable of bench-rest accuracy even at the high velocities typical of 22-caliber varmint loads. That same structural integrity that's made Ballistic Tips a standard in hunting for over two decades carries forward here—you're getting match-grade accuracy without compromise, just without the lead.
This is the bullet for reloaders who need to comply with lead ammunition restrictions while refusing to sacrifice terminal performance. Whether you're working predator control, managing ground squirrels, or practicing precision shooting at ranges with non-magnetic ammunition requirements, 100 rounds per box gives you enough to zero your loads and build a consistent supply.
