Berger's .224 caliber 40 grain FB Varmint bullet is one of those components that quietly does its job and does it well. It's built to the same match-grade standards as Berger's competition target line, so you get consistent dimensions and concentricity straight out of the box. The large hollow point up front is designed to open up fast, which is exactly what you want when you're reaching out to groundhogs, prairie dogs, and other small varmints where quick, decisive expansion matters.
The heart of this bullet is Berger's J4 Precision Jacket, the same jacket renowned by competitive target shooters and custom bullet makers around the world. Berger holds a Total Indicated Runout of +/- .0001 on these jackets along with extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, which translates to better uniformity and more predictable results downrange. The nose is drawn thin to encourage rapid expansion at varmint velocities, so you get a lot of terminal performance out of a light 40 grain projectile.
This bullet uses a tangent ogive design, which is a big part of why handloaders like it. Tangent ogive bullets tend to be forgiving when it comes to seating depth and are generally easy to tune, so you spend less time chasing a load and more time shooting. With a flat base and a G1 BC of 0.151, this is a short-range varmint and small-game bullet in its element inside a few hundred yards. Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:15 for this one, which means it stabilizes easily in just about any common .22 caliber barrel, including the slower-twist varmint rifles and the typical AR-15.
Between the proven accuracy and the explosive terminal results on small game, it's an easy pick for anyone loading up a dedicated varmint rig in .223, .22-250, .220 Swift, or similar .224 chamberings.
Berger lists a minimum twist rate of 1:15 for this 40 grain flat base bullet, so it stabilizes easily in nearly any .22 caliber barrel. That covers slower-twist dedicated varmint rifles as well as common AR-15 twists like 1:9. Being a light, short bullet, it's not fussy about twist at all.
These are reloading bullets, not loaded ammunition. Each box contains 100 .224 diameter projectiles that you seat into your own prepped and primed cases. You'll need brass, powder, and primers to build a finished cartridge.
This bullet is designed for varmint and small-game hunting as well as precision work at shorter ranges. The large hollow point and thin nose are built to expand rapidly on small critters like prairie dogs, groundhogs, and predators. With a 0.151 G1 BC and flat base, it's at its best inside a few hundred yards.
The J4 jacket is the same one used on Berger's competition target bullets and is held to a Total Indicated Runout of +/- .0001. That tight concentricity and consistency is a big reason these varmint bullets shoot so accurately. It gives you more uniform, repeatable performance from one bullet to the next.
