Nosler Varmageddon .22 Nosler 53-grain Flat Base Tipped ammunition (part no. 65177) pairs a newer AR-platform varmint cartridge with Nosler’s dedicated varmint-hunting bullet line from Nosler. The Varmageddon bullet uses a polymer tip over a thin jacket specifically engineered for rapid, explosive fragmentation on impact, built to anchor thin-skinned varmints instantly rather than risk a runner. .22 Nosler was designed to deliver more case capacity and velocity than .223 Remington out of a standard AR-15 magazine and bolt, giving this 53-grain load extra reach on prairie dogs, coyotes, and other varmints. It’s a purpose-built load for shooters who want maximum velocity and explosive terminal performance from a modern AR platform.
