Overview
Built for hunters who want a bullet designed around performance at the loading bench and in the field, this 338 caliber 300-grain hybrid boat tail blends tangent and secant ogive features to reduce sensitivity to seating depth. The longer nose profile is intended to support high ballistic performance without being limited to SAAMI standards. It is a practical choice for serious hunters setting up loads for demanding big-game applications where consistency matters. Packaged 100 per box, it comes from Berger Bullets.

- The hybrid ogive design is intended to reduce seating-depth sensitivity, but it still requires proper load development for best results.
