Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint 22 Cal 50gr Bullets
These are Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint reloading bullets in .224 diameter (22 calibre), 50 grain, supplied as a bulk value pack of 1000 projectiles. They are component bullets for handloading, not loaded ammunition.
The design features a colour-coded polymer tip and a thin, fragmenting jacket mouth for rapid, violent expansion across a wide velocity band, making it ideal for high-volume fox and varmint hunting.
A gradually thickening jacket wall and Nosler’s solid boat-tail base ensure stability during firing and help the bullet maintain integrity through the bore. The spitzer boat-tail profile delivers a clean ballistic coefficient of 0.238 (G1) and a sectional density of 0.142, ensuring predictable performance at range.

FAQ
What type of ammunition are these bullets?
These are component bullets designed for handloading, not pre-loaded ammunition.
Are these bullets suitable for varmint hunting?
Yes, they are specifically designed for high-volume varmint and fox hunting due to their rapid expansion and flat trajectory.
What is the ballistic coefficient and sectional density?
The ballistic coefficient is 0.238 (G1) and the sectional density is 0.142, providing predictable downrange performance.

Used these bullets for varmint hunting in open fields. The expansion is fast and consistent, even at longer ranges. The bullet flight is stable and the group sizes were tight. Great for high-volume shooting.
Anna McDonald –
Loaded them into my .224 rifle for fox hunting. The polymer tip performs well and the bullet expands reliably. The 1000-count pack is a good value for frequent use.
Steven Sanderson –
Good performance in controlled tests. The bullet maintains stability and hits flat. Slight variation in expansion at very low velocities, but overall reliable.
Bernadette Newman –
Excellent for precision varmint work. The flat trajectory and consistent expansion made it easy to hit small targets. No issues with feeding or consistency.
