Berger Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets 6.5Mm .284" 144 Gr Lrht 100/C
If you're handloading ammunition for long-range rifle competition or precision shooting, the Berger Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets in 6.5mm (.284") 144 grain are engineered for the accuracy demands of 1,000-yard matches and beyond. These bullets are built around Berger's MRT (Meplat Reduction Technology) System, a manufacturing approach that applies controlled pressure to the nose to produce a homogeneous and repeatable bullet profile. The result is consistency shot-to-shot—something that matters enormously when you're chasing tight groups or competing against other shooters who demand every advantage.
Ballistic coefficient consistency is where these bullets distinguish themselves. A high BC is valuable, but when you're engaging steel or paper at extreme distance, having that BC stay uniform from round to round is what separates competitive loads from merely good ones. Berger's BC numbers are Doppler-radar verified, and the company's track record in competitive shooting circles speaks for itself. You'll load these knowing your velocity and drop calculations won't drift unexpectedly across a string of shots.
The 144-grain weight in 6.5mm is a popular choice for long-range target work, balancing sectional density with the recoil and barrel-life considerations that precision shooters weigh. Each box contains 100 bullets, giving you a full case for loading and testing. Whether you're load-developing for a 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, or another 6.5mm cartridge, these bullets reward careful handloading with the consistency competitive shooting demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 6.5mm cartridges are these bullets compatible with?
The .284" diameter and 144-grain weight make these suitable for 6.5mm cartridges such as the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 6.5-284 Norma, and similar long-range target rounds. Always verify bullet seating depth and overall cartridge length for your specific rifle and load data.
What makes the MRT System different from standard bullet manufacturing?
The MRT (Meplat Reduction Technology) System applies controlled pressure along the projectile nose to create a homogeneous and repeatable bullet profile. This process produces shot-to-shot ballistic coefficient consistency, which is especially critical when shooting to extreme distance where small variations compound into missed adjustments.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting, or are they target-only?
These are designated as target bullets and are designed for competitive shooting and precision rifle work. For hunting applications, consult Berger's hunting-specific bullet lines and always verify terminal performance suitability for your intended game and distance.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, providing a full case worth of ammunition for load development and competition.
