Built for varmint hunting, this .243 Winchester Nosler Varmageddon 70gr FB Tipped ammunition (Nosler part no. 61029) is packed 20 rounds to the box. Each cartridge pairs a 70-grain flat-base tipped bullet with premium Nosler brass. Nosler builds the Varmageddon bullet with a lead-alloy core inside a copper-alloy jacket so it expands hard on impact while the flat base keeps it accurate. The published figures are 3500 fps and 1904 ft-lbs at the muzzle, recorded in a 24-inch test barrel. It suits long sessions at the bench or in the field.
