The Nosler Ballistic Tip 6mm 55gr varmint bullet (Nosler part no. 39565) is a spitzer boat tail projectile built for handloaders chasing flat trajectories and rapid expansion on varmints and predators. Nosler’s purple polymer tip initiates immediate, explosive expansion on impact while boosting the bullet’s ballistic coefficient for a flatter flight path downrange. The boat tail base adds stability at extended range, making this a proven choice for .243 Winchester and other 6mm varmint rigs where fast, dramatic terminal performance is the goal.
