Overview
Built for shooters focused on precision work, these 22 caliber 52-grain flat base bullets are suited to benchrest-style applications and other mid-range target use where a boat tail is not needed. The tangent ogive design is intended to make loading, tuning, and shooting more straightforward, which can be helpful when working up a consistent match load. Berger’s J4 Precision bullet jackets and tight manufacturing tolerances are part of the match-grade construction. For hunters and precision shooters who want a target bullet for careful load development and controlled-range shooting, this is a specialized option rather than a general-purpose projectile.
