Built for high-volume varmint work, the Nosler Varmageddon .22-250 Remington 55gr Flat Base Tipped Ammunition packs 20 rounds of 55-grain flat base tipped bullets (Nosler part no. 65155). The 55-grain bullet pairs a lead-alloy core with a copper-alloy jacket and a flat-base design, which Nosler says expands violently on impact while delivering bench-rest accuracy. It rides in Nosler premium brass and is rated at 3550 fps and 1538 ft-lbs of energy from a 24-inch test barrel. Nosler created the Nosler Varmageddon line for the high-volume varmint shooter at an economical price. At 300 yards the published velocity is still 2410 fps, which gives a prairie or farm-field shooter a flat, fast load to work with.
