Nosler VarMageddon Rifle Bullets .17 cal .172" 20 gr FB-TIPPED 250/ct

The Nosler VarMageddon .17 caliber rifle bullets are purpose-built for varmint hunters and precision shooters who demand reliable, economical ammunition without compromise. These 20-grain flat-base bullets come in a 250-round box and feature Nosler's proven flat-base design—a hallmark of bench-rest accuracy that helps you ring steel at distance or drop varmints cleanly in the field. Whether you're running a .17 HMR, .17 Hornet, or another .17-caliber platform, VarMageddon rounds deliver consistent performance across a wide range of practical shooting distances.

Built with a lead-alloy core and copper-alloy jacket, these tipped bullets are engineered to expand reliably on impact while maintaining the structural integrity shooters expect from Nosler. The flat-base construction contributes to their ballistic consistency, making them a solid choice for both varmint work and controlled accuracy testing. At this price point, VarMageddon ammo strikes the balance between quality and economy that reloaders and factory-round shooters alike appreciate.

If you shoot .17 rifles regularly—whether for prairie dog control, small game, or general range work—VarMageddon bullets offer a dependable, accurate option that won't force you to choose between performance and value. A 250-round count keeps you stocked for serious sessions or seasonal harvesting without breaking the bank.
