Description
Berger .22 Cal 52 gr FB Varmint – fast, flat-shooting varmint bullet
Overview
The Berger 52 gr FB Varmint is a lightweight, flat-base .224″ bullet designed for small-game and predator hunting, where explosive impact and a laser-flat trajectory matter. Its short profile and tangent ogive deliver superb accuracy even from older 1-in-14″ twist barrels. Berger’s legendary J4 Precision Jacket ensures match-grade concentricity and reliable, rapid fragmentation on target.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Flat base | Shorter overall length stabilises in slower twists—ideal for .222 Rem, .22-250, .220 Swift. |
| Thin J4 jacket | Benchrest-level concentricity and dramatic, “grenade-like” expansion that anchors varmints instantly. |
| Tangent ogive | Forgiving of seating-depth changes, speeding up load development and feeding smoothly from magazines. |
| Light 52 gr weight | Muzzle velocities of 3 300–3 800 fps produce an exceptionally flat trajectory and low wind drift. |
| High terminal velocity | Instant knock-down on rockchucks, foxes, coyotes and similar-sized game. |

Why Choose the 52 gr FB Varmint?

-
Friendly to classic rifles – perfect stability in vintage 1-in-14″ barrels while still shooting tiny groups.
-
Easy load tuning – tangent ogive and flat base find an accurate node quickly.
-
Match-grade manufacture – built to benchrest tolerances for sub-0.5 MOA potential in varmint rifles.
