Available in your favorite prairie doggin' calibers, it features the best bullets available for any varmint: from Nosler Ballistic Tip to Sierra GameKing, MatchKing, and Varminter. In .223 Remington caliber loaded with a 55-grain bullet, it uses the Nosler Ballistic tip bullet.
Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint bullets, replete with a polycarbonate tip, that drives rearward forcing the thin jacket to expand and fragment upon impact. Its heavy base prevents deformation during firing all the while the boat-tail increases the ballistic efficiency of the bullet.
1. Nosler Ballistic Tip - Snugly nestled in the jacket mouth is the streamlined polymer tip, color-coded by caliber.
2. Ultra-Thin Jacket Mouth assures violent expansion at either end of the velocity scale.
3. Varmint Jacket Wall Design. The uniform, gradual thickening at the bullet's mid-section is designed to keep the Ballistic Tip Varmint together until impact-at any velocity.
4. Ballistically Engineered Solid Base Boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long-range performance and for easier loading.
