🎯 Why It Hits Hard
-
Secant Ogive Design: Reduces drag for flatter trajectories and less wind drift—ideal for long-range precision.
-
J4 Hunting Jacket: Thinner copper jacket engineered to penetrate 2–3" before rapid expansion, creating a wound cavity up to 15".
-
Boat Tail Base: Enhances stability during transonic flight, improving accuracy at extended ranges.
-
Consistent Core: Berger’s manufacturing eliminates the need for weight sorting, ensuring uniform drop and BC.
🔧 Load Tips
-
Many shooters find best accuracy when seating these bullets to touch the lands, though some rifles prefer up to .150" jump.
-
Ideal for single-shot applications or precision bolt guns where seating depth can be tuned.
