Bergara Fullbore Target 30 Caliber (0.308'') 155.5Gr Boat Tail 100/Bo

The Bergara Fullbore Target 30 caliber (0.308") 155.5-grain boat tail bullet is engineered for shooters who demand match-grade accuracy at distance. Originally designed for Palma rifle competitions where precision out to 1,000 yards separates winners from the rest, these bullets have become a go-to choice for serious target shooters and long-range competitors pushing past 600 yards. If you're building precision rifle loads for competition or dedicated accuracy work, this is the bullet that demands tight chamber clearances and rewarding load development.

What sets the Fullbore Target apart is its tangent ogive design—a profile that's naturally forgiving to load and tune while delivering exceptional performance across both short and long ranges. Bergara's manufacturing philosophy shows here: their consistent core process means you won't spend hours weight-sorting a box. That uniformity translates directly to tighter velocity spreads, more predictable ballistics, and tighter groups downrange. The boat tail profile gives you a real aerodynamic edge at distance, especially as bullets transition from supersonic to subsonic flight where drag becomes critical.

Construction quality is uncompromising. These bullets are built with J4 Precision jackets—the benchmark copper jackets in the industry. J4 jackets hold tolerances of ±0.0003", meaning the concentricity and wall thickness consistency you get here are in the same league as premium custom bullet shops. That precision jacket paired with Bergara's exacting core process produces minimal dispersion at all ranges, which is why you'll see these in winning loads at the range and in the field among hunters who refuse to leave accuracy on the table.

The boat tail design also makes these excellent for magazine-fed applications where overall length matters, and they'll conform to SAAMI specs without compromise—meaning they'll work in your rifle without modification or compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifle competition are these bullets designed for?

The Bergara Fullbore Target 155.5gr was specifically engineered for Palma rifle competition, where accuracy at distances out to 1,000 yards is critical. They're also widely used by target and long-range shooters working beyond 600 yards where precision and aerodynamic performance matter most.

Do I need to sort these bullets by weight before loading?

No. Bergara's consistent core manufacturing process minimizes weight variation across the box, so you can load with confidence without the extra step of weight-sorting. This consistency also delivers more reliable ballistics and tighter groups.

Will these work in a magazine-fed rifle?

Yes. The boat tail design and overall length are engineered to work well in magazine-feed applications and conform to SAAMI specifications, so they'll chamber and feed without modification in standard rifles.

What's the advantage of the tangent ogive design?

Tangent ogives are naturally easier to load and tune—you have more forgiveness in seating depth and bullet jump compared to other profiles. They also perform consistently well across both short and long ranges, which is why they're favored in precision competition loads.
