Berger Elite Hunter Features The Berger Elite Hunter is built around Berger s Hybrid design that blends a tangent ogive with a secant ogive to produce the highest possible ballistic coefficient while minimizing sensitivity to seating depth giving precision reloaders the performance advantages of a secant design without the load development complexity that pure secant bullets typically require. The extended nose profile made possible by designing outside SAAMI dimensional constraints delivers a higher ballistic coefficient than comparable Classic Hunter bullets resulting in better velocity retention less wind drift and a flatter trajectory at the extended ranges where precision hunters need their ammunition to perform. The hollow point boat tail construction provides controlled expansion on impact with high weight retention delivering reliable terminal performance on big game across a wide range of impact velocities from close range to the far end of the cartridge s effective hunting envelope. For hunters running custom .270-caliber rifles with fast-twist barrels who want the highest ballistic performance available in a purpose-built hunting bullet the Elite Hunter delivers a genuine advantage over factory-profile hunting projectiles. Berger recommends a minimum barrel twist of 1:8 inches or faster to fully stabilize this 170-grain bullet and most standard .270-caliber rifles may not provide sufficient twist for optimal performance - this bullet is intended for custom rifle applications. The 1.490-inch bullet length and .277-inch diameter are optimized for 6.8mm and .270-caliber chambers in custom configurations and the non-coated construction provides consistent bearing surface performance across standard reloading and seating operations. For precision reloaders running custom .270-caliber rifles who want the highest-BC hunting bullet available in this diameter the Berger Elite Hunter is available now at GrabAGun.
