The Nosler Varmageddon .223 Remington 55gr (brand part no. 65145) is a dedicated varmint load from Nosler, built for flat trajectories and explosive terminal performance on small game. Each round drives a 55-grain flat-base tipped Varmageddon bullet at 3,100 fps — the metallic black polymer tip and ultra-thin jacket mouth open violently on impact, exactly what coyote and prairie dog hunters want. Nosler loads it in its own headstamped, reloadable brass with meticulously weighed powder charges. Among rifle ammunition, this Varmageddon load favors predator hunters who want bench-rest consistency in a field load.
