Nosler Varmageddon .17 Remington rifle ammunition (brand part no. 65100) loads a 20-grain flat base hollow point (FBHP) bullet built for one job: explosive fragmentation on impact for dedicated varmint and pest control. Unlike a big-game bullet designed for deep, controlled penetration, the Varmageddon’s thin jacket is engineered to come apart violently at .17 Remington’s blistering velocities, dumping all of its energy at the surface rather than driving through. That trait is exactly what a varmint hunter wants: fast, humane kills with virtually no risk of a pass-through round traveling on toward an unintended target. For varmint and pest hunters who want maximum fragmentation at extreme velocity, this rifle ammunition from Nosler is built for exactly that.
