Nosler VarMageddon Rifle Bullets .17 cal .172" 20 gr FBHP 250/ct

The Nosler VarMageddon .17 caliber rifle bullet is purpose-built for varmint shooters who demand reliable expansion and accuracy across practical hunting ranges. At 20 grains with a hollow point design, these .172" flat-base rounds deliver the terminal performance Nosler is known for while keeping your component costs reasonable—a rare combination for precision varmint work. The 250-count box gives you plenty of ammunition for load development and extended range sessions.

What sets VarMageddon apart is the engineering behind the expansion. The lead-alloy core and copper-alloy jacket work together to open reliably on impact, ensuring consistent energy transfer without over-penetration—essential when you're taking shots across open terrain or in areas where over-traveling projectiles are a concern. The flat-base design contributes to the accuracy these bullets are known for, making them a solid choice for both benchrest development and field use.

Nosler manufactures these through an efficient production process that maintains quality control without the premium price tag of their match-grade offerings. If you're hand-loading for .17 HMR or similar platform rifles and want a dependable varmint round that shoots true, VarMageddon delivers practical value without compromise.
