Berger .308 155.5 grain target boat tail bullets deliver the precision and consistency that competitive shooters demand. Built on Berger's reputation for match-grade ammunition components, these 100-count boxes are engineered for shooters who reload for precision rifle competitions, long-range target work, and situations where every shot counts. The .308 caliber and 155.5-grain weight put them in the ballistic sweet spot for competitive rifle shooting at extended distances.
What sets these bullets apart is the attention to manufacturing tolerances. Berger uses J4 Precision Jackets with total indicated runout (TIR) held to .0003 inches or tighter—the kind of consistency that separates match winners from runners-up. At high rotational velocities, this tight tolerance translates to stable flight and predictable accuracy. Reloaders and competition shooters worldwide trust Berger bullets to deliver the repeatability required for record-setting performance and consistent match results.
The boat tail design reduces drag and extends the bullet's effective range compared to flat-base alternatives, making these rounds a go-to choice for long-range precision shooting. Whether you're working up loads for a regional match or fine-tuning your precision rifle setup, these .308 boat tail bullets provide the quality baseline you need to focus on technique rather than ammunition inconsistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between these target bullets and standard hunting rounds?
Berger target boat tail bullets are built to much tighter manufacturing tolerances than commercial hunting ammunition. The .0003" TIR jacket tolerance ensures minimal variation from bullet to bullet, which is critical for competitive shooting where groups are measured in fractions of an inch. Hunting bullets prioritize expansion; target bullets prioritize consistency.
Are these bullets suitable for long-range competition shooting?
Yes. The .308 155.5-grain boat tail design is widely used in precision rifle competitions. The boat tail profile improves ballistic performance at distance, and the match-grade construction meets the consistency standards competitive shooters require.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, a standard quantity for reloaders doing load development or preparing ammunition for match events.
What does "J4 Precision Jacket" mean?
J4 Precision Jackets are Berger's premium jacket line, manufactured to extremely tight tolerances. The .0003" TIR specification means runout is held to three ten-thousandths of an inch, ensuring each bullet flies consistently and concentrically through the bore.
