The Nosler Bullets 17 Cal .172 - 20gr Varmageddon FBHP is purpose-built for precision varmint hunting and small-game shooting where accuracy and explosive terminal performance are non-negotiable. This 100-round box delivers the ballistic consistency that competitive shooters, hunters, and precision rifle operators demand when taking prairie dogs, groundhogs, and similar small targets at extended range. Nosler's reputation for manufacturing match-grade ammunition components ensures each round meets exacting tolerances for velocity consistency and point-of-impact repeatability.
The 20-grain Varmageddon bullet features a Fragmenting Boat Tail Hollow Point (FBHP) design engineered to initiate expansion immediately upon impact while the boat tail geometry minimizes drag for flatter trajectories and retained velocity downrange. This construction maximizes energy transfer to small targets, reducing exit velocity and mitigating ricochet risk—a critical consideration in populated rural areas. The hollow point cavity is precisely formed to ensure consistent, rapid fragmentation, while the boat tail profile enhances stability in flight and reduces wind deflection, enabling tighter groups at 100+ yards where .17 Hornet and .17 Remington shooters typically operate.
Varmint hunters and handloaders who reload for dedicated .17 caliber rifles will find this ammunition ideal for spring and summer predator control seasons when wind conditions demand lightweight, high-velocity projectiles. The 100-count box provides sufficient volume for practice, load development, and field hunting without excessive restock frequency. Compatibility is limited to .17 caliber rifles—verify your specific .17 cartridge (.17 Hornet, .17 Remington, .17 Remington Fireball, or .17 WSM) before ordering, as bullets must match exact bore diameter for safe, accurate performance.
