Overview
Built for precision-minded shooters, this 30 caliber 230-grain boat tail bullet uses Berger’s Hybrid design to combine a tangent ogive and a secant ogive in the nose profile. That approach is intended to reduce seating-depth sensitivity while keeping the bullet’s shape efficient in the wind. It is a strong fit for serious target work where consistency and load development matter. Packaged 100 per box, it is aimed at shooters who want a carefully engineered component for long-range applications.

- This is a 230gr .308 caliber bullet, so it is intended for specific rifle and cartridge applications rather than broad general-purpose use.
- Packaged 100 per box, which may be more than needed for occasional shooters but practical for dedicated load testing.
