Sig Sauer built the Varmageddon line (part no. C223VP4020) around a light, 40-grain polymer-tip bullet in .223 Remington, designed to fly flat and fragment violently the instant it meets a varmint-sized target. Sig Sauer loads Varmageddon specifically for predator and varmint hunters who want explosive terminal performance rather than deep penetration, and the light 40-grain weight pushes velocity higher than heavier .223 hunting loads for a flatter trajectory at extended range. It’s the kind of round built for a long afternoon thinning prairie dogs or coyotes, not for deer or hogs. In rifle ammunition built for varmint work, this is a dedicated round for that job.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington, compatible with the vast majority of AR-15 pattern rifles.
• The bullet weighs 40 grains, a light weight built to maximize velocity over penetration.
• The bullet uses a polymer tip over a lead core, engineered to initiate rapid fragmentation.
• The design is built for explosive fragmentation on varmint-sized targets rather than deep penetration.
• The light bullet weight gives a flatter trajectory at extended varmint-hunting range.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, packaged as part of a larger 10-box case.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Varmageddon ammunition built for? Varmint and predator hunting, where a light, fast, rapidly fragmenting bullet produces dramatic terminal results on small game rather than deep penetration.

Is 40 grains too light for coyotes? No, it’s a common weight for dedicated varmint and predator loads, where high velocity and rapid fragmentation matter more than the penetration a heavier big-game bullet offers.
