Nosler Varmageddon .222 Remington 40-grain Flat Base Tipped ammunition (part no. 65135) loads Nosler’s dedicated varmint bullet into a mild, accurate cartridge built specifically for small-target precision. Nosler tops this 40-grain bullet with a polymer tip over a thin jacket, engineered to fragment violently on impact for maximum energy transfer on varmints rather than deep penetration. The .222 Remington has a long-standing reputation as one of the most inherently accurate varmint cartridges ever chambered. In rifle ammunition for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small pests, this is a purpose-built varmint bullet in a purpose-built varmint cartridge.
