Nosler Varmint Ballistic Tip .223 Remington 40-grain ammunition (brand part no. 61048) is built around the Ballistic Tip Lead-Free bullet, a frangible design meant to put varmints down fast without leaving lead behind. Nosler pairs this bullet with its own brass cases, loading every round to the same strict quality standards the company applies to its component bullets. Because the bullet is frangible, it fragments explosively on impact with small, thin-skinned varmints, producing dramatic terminal results while eliminating lead residue on the animal or the ground beneath it. For varmint hunters working prairie dog towns or coyote calls where lead-free ammunition matters, this rifle ammunition load is a purpose-built .223 Remington option.
