Overview
Built for varmint hunting, these .22 caliber 55-grain flat base bullets combine a large hollow point with match-grade construction for controlled use in the field. The tangent ogive design is intended to make loading, tuning, and shooting straightforward, while the thin-nosed J4 Precision Jackets reflect the tight tolerances Berger is known for. This 100-count box suits hunters and reloaders who want a bullet designed around accuracy-focused varmint work rather than general-purpose use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for varmint hunting, so it is not intended as a general-purpose bullet for all game or all shooting applications.
- The large hollow point is built for rapid expansion, which is useful on varmints but may be more specialized than hunters want for other uses.
- Match-grade construction and tight tolerances can support accuracy, but results still depend on proper load development and rifle setup.
- As a 55 gr flat base .224 bullet, it is a specific configuration that may not suit every barrel twist rate or shooting preference.
