Overview
Built for hunters who want a projectile designed around precision loading and long-range performance, this 250-grain .338 caliber hybrid boat tail bullet blends tangent and secant ogive features to reduce sensitivity to seating depth. Its longer nose profile is intended to support higher ballistic performance, and the design is not limited by SAAMI standards. It is a practical choice for serious big-game setups where careful handloading and consistent bullet behavior matter. Packaged 100 per box, it suits hunters who load in volume and want a dedicated hunting bullet option from Berger Bullets.
