Overview
Built for precision-oriented shooting, this match-grade bullet is aimed at benchrest competitors and other shooters working at mid-range distances where a flat-base design is appropriate. Its tangent ogive profile is intended to make loading and tuning more straightforward, which can be useful when refining a load for consistency. Berger’s J4 Precision bullet jackets and tight manufacturing tolerances reflect the product’s focus on careful construction, while the 1,000-count box suits high-volume practice or competition preparation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around flat-base use cases, so it is not intended for situations where a boat-tail profile is preferred.
- Positioned for competitive and match-oriented shooting, which may be more specialized than a general-purpose bullet choice.
- The 52gr weight and .224 caliber specification should be matched carefully to the intended load and application.
- Packaged in a 1,000-count box, which is practical for volume use but less convenient if you only need a small quantity.
