The Nosler Varmageddon 221 Remington Fireball 40 Grain Polymer Tip Flat Base ammo is purpose-built for varmint hunters and high-volume shooters who demand reliable, cost-effective rounds without compromise. Loaded with Nosler's 40-grain Varmageddon bullet—designed to deliver violent expansion on impact—this 221 Fireball load pairs proven terminal performance with the accuracy shooters expect from Nosler's bench-rest-quality ammunition. The polymer-tipped design and flat base construction work together to ensure consistent flight and explosive performance across typical varmint hunting ranges.

If you're running a 221 Fireball for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, or other small game, Varmageddon ammunition has built a reputation among serious varmint hunters for delivering results without the premium price tag of specialty hunting rounds. The round-count (20 per box) and economical pricing make it practical for high-volume shooting sessions, so you can spend more time behind the gun and less time reloading or shopping between trips.

Each cartridge is loaded with Nosler premium brass, ensuring consistent headspace and chamber fit. The combination of lead-alloy core and copper-alloy jacket is engineered for the violent, rapid expansion that stops small game cleanly, while the flat base profile contributes to the accuracy many shooters rely on for longer-distance varmint work.
