Overview
Designed for custom rifle hunters who want a heavier-than-standard projectile, this 6.5mm 156gr Hybrid Boat Tail bullet is built around long-range hunting use. Its Hybrid ogive profile combines tangent and secant design elements, with the transition intended to reduce sensitivity to seating depth. Berger positions the EOL Elite Hunter line for high ballistic coefficient performance and high sectional density, making it a fit for hunters setting up for extended-distance shots. It is sold in a 100-count box and is aimed at those who want a specialized bullet rather than a general-purpose option.
