The Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint .22 Cal 50gr ammunition delivers the precision and terminal performance that varmint hunters demand. Built on Nosler's reputation for match-grade accuracy, these rounds combine a streamlined polymer tip with a specially engineered jacket design to produce consistent, devastating results across a wide velocity range—whether you're taking shots at close range or stretching distance. The 50-grain spitzer point and boat tail configuration make these rounds equally at home in a precision .22 centerfire or as a reloading component for handloaders fine-tuning their own varmint loads.
What sets the Ballistic Tip Varmint apart is Nosler's commitment to expansion control. The aerodynamic polymer tip is color-coded by caliber for easy identification, while the ultra-thin jacket mouth is engineered to expand reliably across the entire velocity envelope—rapid expansion at close range, consistent mushrooming at distance. A gradually thickening jacket wall beneath the tip slows the rate of expansion, keeping the bullet structurally sound through impact and ensuring maximum energy transfer to the target. The ballistically engineered solid base and boat tail geometry reduce drag in flight, supporting both long-range accuracy and easier reloading.
These rounds come in a 100-count box, giving you plenty of ammunition for serious varmint hunting seasons or consistent practice at the range. Whether you're culling prairie dogs, managing predators, or simply stocking a reliable, accurate .22 centerfire load, the Ballistic Tip Varmint is a field-proven choice that combines the precision of a match-grade bullet with genuine hunting performance.

The Ballistic Tip Varmint's 50-grain bullet and expansion characteristics make it ideal for varmint hunting—prairie dogs, predators, and similar game. Always consult your local hunting regulations to confirm what species and ammunition are legal in your area.
Yes. These 50gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets are sold as ammunition, but reloaders also use comparable Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets as components. Check Nosler's reloading manuals for load data specific to your cartridge and rifle.
The aerodynamic polymer tip is streamlined to reduce drag in flight, improving long-range ballistics and accuracy. The color coding by caliber also makes it easy to identify the correct ammunition at a glance. The tip contributes to consistent, reliable expansion when the bullet strikes the target.
A boat tail is a tapered, streamlined base that reduces aerodynamic drag, allowing the bullet to maintain velocity and trajectory over distance. This design supports flatter trajectories and improved long-range accuracy, making it especially useful for varmint hunting where distance and precision are priorities.
