Nosler’s Varmageddon Varmint Bullets

Nosler added a new line of lower priced bullets and ammunition for high-volume varmint shooters called “Varmageddon.” They’re available as component bullets in .172″, .204″, .224″ and .243″ diameters, and loaded in .17 Rem., .204 Ruger, .221 Fireball, .222 Rem., .223 Rem., .22-250 and .243 Win. ammunition. The new bullets are quite a step up in quality from cheap bulk and rather different from Ballistic Tip Varmint bullets.

Don’t mistake lower price for lower quality, though. Varmageddon is a varmint bullet designed to be destructive, but at the same time is tough enough to stand up to twist rates as tight as 1:7 inches at high velocity without turning into little blue puffs of lead vapor exiting the muzzle.

Sumatra


Very full body, very concentrated flavor. Sweet, slightly earthy, herbal nuances with a gutsy richness.

Sumatra's coffees are grown almost exclusively by smallholders and processed by the semi-washed or wet-hulled method. The fruit is pulped on the farm, often by means of a hand-cranked mill, and the seeds, still encased in an endocarp, washed in a basket or bucket. They are laid on a mat for the briefest of dryings. Collectors purchase and hull the coffee at high internal moisture, removing the parchment, and exposing the beans. They subsequently dry in stages (and infuse with Sumatran character) all the way to the godowns in the port of Medan.

There is little sorting or grading, and this may be the secret of Sumatra: the process could not be more elementary; the cup could not be more satisfying. The syrup-like body and rustic complexity of Sumatra is particularly well developed in the full-throated Peet’s roast.
