Description
Berger’s .22 Cal 55 gr FB Varmint pairs bench-rest concentricity with dramatic, hollow-point expansion, making it a go-to bullet for fox-to-coyote-size game and ultra-tight groups from classic .222/.223 rifles as well as hot .22-250 or .220 Swift loads. At just 55 gr and only 0.753″ long, it fully stabilises in 1-in-14″ twists, yet its match-quality J4® jacket and tangent-ogive profile keep the G1 BC at an impressive 0.209, giving a laser-flat trajectory to roughly 400 m.
Key features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Flat-base, tangent-ogive geometry | Short overall length = perfect stability in slower 1:14″ barrels while still delivering sub-MOA precision. |
| Large hollow-point & thin J4® jacket | Instant, explosive fragmentation that anchors varmints yet minimises pelt damage; jacket runout held to ±0.0001–0.0003″ for bench-rest concentricity. |
| Light 55 gr weight | Safe, blistering muzzle speeds of 3 300 – 3 800 fps in .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem or .220 Swift for a very flat arc and low wind drift. |
| Match-grade core consistency | Lot-to-lot weight uniformity eliminates the need for sorting, keeping vertical spread tiny at distance. |
| Easy load tuning | Tangent ogive is forgiving of seating-depth changes, so accurate nodes appear quickly during hand-load development. |

Why choose this bullet?
-
Fast & flat – With a BC of 0.209 and 3 600 fps from a .22-250, drop at 300 m is roughly 14 cm, slashing hold-over on tiny targets.
-
Explosive but pelt-friendly – The combination of thin jacket and big meplat opens violently inside varmint-size game, limiting exit holes.
-
Works in vintage rifles – Ideal for older .222 Rem or 1:14″ .223 barrels that won’t stabilise longer boat-tails.
-
Match-grade manufacture – J4® jackets hold ±0.0003″ thickness and ±0.0001″ run-out for unrivalled core balance and tiny groups.
Typical applications
-
Prairie-dog, groundhog, jack-rabbit and crow control out to ~400 m.
-
Predator hunting (fox, coyote, bobcat) where rapid expansion and minimal hide damage are desired.
-
Precision practice or informal bench work for shooters wanting sub-½-MOA accuracy from a light, affordable varmint bullet.
