BERGER .224 55G TARGET FB 100CT
The Berger .224 55-grain flat base target bullet is a match-grade round designed for shooters who demand precision. Whether you're loading for benchrest competition or fine-tuning loads for mid-range target work out to 300 yards and beyond, these bullets deliver the consistency that separates good groups from excellent ones. Built with Berger's J4 Precision jackets—held to exacting standards with Total Indicated Runout of ±.0001 inches—they offer the tight manufacturing tolerances that competitive shooters rely on when every tenth of an inch matters.
What makes these .224 target bullets stand out is their tangent ogive design, which simplifies the reloading process without sacrificing accuracy. The flat base profile works well for mid-range precision shooting where the aerodynamic advantages of a boat tail aren't necessary. If you're setting up a benchrest rig or a dedicated .224 varmint rifle and want bullets you can load with confidence, these are built to perform. Each box contains 100 rounds.
Reloaders who use Berger target bullets appreciate the consistency from round to round—that's what J4 Precision jackets deliver. Combined with the tangent ogive profile and flat base construction, you get bullets that load easily, tune predictably, and shoot tight. For competitive shooters and serious handloaders, that's the recipe for confidence on the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

These bullets are often used out to mid-range distances of 300 yards or more. The flat base design works well when a boat tail is not needed, making them ideal for benchrest and target shooting in that range.
Are these bullets suitable for benchrest competition?
Yes. Berger flat base target bullets are commonly used by competitive benchrest shooters who are looking for the highest accuracy possible. The match-grade quality, tight manufacturing tolerances, and J4 Precision jackets make them well-suited for competition.
What makes the J4 Precision jacket special?
J4 Precision jackets are held to extremely tight manufacturing tolerances and have a Total Indicated Runout (TIR) of ±.0001 inches. This consistency is critical for shooters who want repeatable accuracy and minimal runout-related variations from bullet to bullet.
Will these bullets be difficult to reload?
No. The tangent ogive bullet design makes these very easy to load and tune. This design simplifies the reloading process while maintaining the match-grade accuracy that serious shooters expect.
