Nosler Varmageddon .17 Cal (.172) 20gr Tipped Bullets

Nosler Varmageddon .17 Cal (.172) 20 gr Tipped Bullets (Nosler part no. 30531) are built for varmint hunters who want explosive expansion on impact without carrying the cost of Nosler’s premium big-game lines. A metallic black polymer tip drives rapid fragmentation the instant the bullet meets its target, and the flat-base design keeps the bullet stable and consistent through flight. It’s a purpose-built varmint bullet: light, fast-expanding, and priced for high-volume shooting at prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small predators.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the .17 Cal (.172) Varmageddon bullet built for? Fast, explosive expansion on varmints and predators, where devastating terminal effect matters more than deep penetration.

Is Varmageddon suitable for big game? No, it’s engineered specifically for varmint-sized targets; the rapid fragmentation that makes it effective on varmints isn’t appropriate for big game.

Why choose a tipped varmint bullet over a plain hollow point? The polymer tip helps trigger consistent, immediate expansion at a wide range of velocities instead of relying on impact alone. See more reloading bullets for other Varmageddon calibers and weights.
