.17 Rem Fireball 20gr Polymer-Tipped Varmint Ammo – 20rd

Description

The .17 Rem Fireball is a smart cartridge for serious varmint work. It delivers ballistics that rival much larger rounds while burning significantly less powder, which means less barrel fouling, less heat, and longer barrel life. For dedicated varmint hunters running high-volume sessions, that efficiency matters.

Polymer-Tipped Design Built for Impact

This Varmageddon load pairs Nosler's proven 20-grain polymer-tipped bullet with flat-base design that's engineered for two things: accuracy and devastation. The lead-alloy core combines with a thin copper-alloy jacket that expands violently on impact, creating the fragmentation that makes varmints drop in their tracks. The polymer tip maintains a sharp, consistent profile that doesn't deform like old-style lead tips, which translates to better ballistic coefficients and flatter flight downrange. At 4000 fps from standard barrels, you get the trajectory you need for extended-range work without wrestling with heavy recoil.

Varmageddon Ammunition Built Right

Every round gets individual visual inspection before it ships. Nosler's brass is quality stuff, reloadable for handloaders looking to stretch dollars. The ammunition is assembled to strict tolerances with powder charges meticulously weighed to deliver the consistency you need when you're trying to pile prairie dogs in the same spot. This isn't bargain-bin ammunition, but it won't break the bank either, which is the whole point of the Varmageddon line.

What to Expect at the Range

Prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and groundhogs don't stand a chance. The cartridge performs well out to 300 yards and beyond with proper shot placement, and the relatively mild report means you're less likely to spook the rest of the prairie dog town after your first shot. The minimal recoil keeps you on target for follow-ups, and you'll actually be able to spot your hits before the next round downrange.
