Nosler VarMageddon Bullets .17 cal .172" 20 gr FBHP 250/ct

Nosler VarMageddon Bullets in .17 caliber .172" diameter, 20 grain flat base hollow point (FBHP) are engineered for precision varmint and small game hunting at extended ranges. This 250-count box delivers the consistency and ballistic performance that has established Nosler as a leader in premium bullet manufacturing. The VarMageddon line represents a cost-effective alternative to premium hunting rounds without compromising the engineering that defines the brand.

The 20-grain weight in .172" diameter provides a favorable ballistic coefficient for .17 HMR and similar cartridges, balancing velocity retention with wind deflection management at distance. The flat-base design enhances feeding consistency through magazine systems and maintains predictable flight characteristics. The hollow point construction initiates rapid expansion on impact, delivering the energy transfer required for clean, humane kills on varmint-sized targets. Nosler's solid manufacturing processes ensure case-to-case consistency in jacket-to-core bonding and weight sorting, which translates directly to tighter shot grouping and improved accuracy in the field.

These bullets serve shooters engaged in prairie dog control, coyote management, and small varmint hunting where high velocity and minimal bullet drop matter over 150+ yards. Reloaders and ammunition manufacturers also rely on VarMageddon components for factory-equivalent performance loads. The 250-count box format provides sufficient supply for range development, load testing, or dedicated season ammunition without excess storage requirements. Field-proven performance across varied conditions—from high desert to agricultural settings—confirms the design's reliability in real-world hunting applications where precision at range is non-negotiable.
