Overview
Built for precision rifle work, this 155-grain .308 caliber bullet uses Berger’s Hybrid design to combine a tangent ogive and a secant ogive in the nose profile. That layout is intended to reduce sensitivity to seating depth while still using a shape associated with efficient wind performance. It is a practical option for shooters setting up .30 caliber loads where consistency and tuning flexibility matter. Packaged 100 per box, it suits load development and range use for serious riflemen.

Pros
- Hybrid design combines tangent and secant ogive sections in the nose.
- Less sensitive to seating depth than a purely secant ogive design.
- Secant ogive section is described as very efficient in the wind.
- 30 caliber .308 diameter suits compatible .308-inch applications.
- Packaged as 155-grain bullets, 100 per box.
Considerations & Trade-offs
- The Hybrid nose profile is designed to be less sensitive to seating depth than a purely secant-style design, but load development is still required to find the best fit for a specific rifle.
- The secant portion of the ogive is described as efficient in the wind, but real-world results will depend on your rifle, load, and shooting conditions.
- These are 155gr .308 caliber bullets, so they are intended for shooters building loads around that specific caliber and weight class rather than a broad all-purpose use.
- Packaged 100 per box, which is practical for load work and match preparation, but may be more than needed for occasional use.
