Overview
Designed for shooters who want a bullet profile that balances seating-depth flexibility with a wind-efficient nose shape, this 215-grain .308 caliber option is built around Berger’s Hybrid concept. The tangent section is intended to reduce sensitivity to seating depth, while the secant portion reflects the streamlined form associated with VLD-style bullets. It is a practical choice for precision rifle setups where consistent loading and long-range use are priorities. Packaged 100 per box, it suits reloaders working up a dedicated .30 caliber load.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The Hybrid design is described as less sensitive to seating depth, but it still requires careful load development and tuning for best results.
- The secant ogive portion is noted for wind efficiency, yet that benefit is tied to proper setup and application rather than a universal advantage in every rifle.
- This is a target bullet, so it is oriented toward precision use rather than general-purpose hunting needs.
- The product is sold in a 100-count box, which may be more than needed for shooters who only want a small quantity for testing.
