Berger Match Grade 6.5 Creedmoor 135 Grain Classic Hunter HP Ammunition - 20 Rounds

The Berger Match Grade 6.5 Creedmoor 135 Grain Classic Hunter HP ammunition bridges the gap between precision rifle performance and field hunting ethics. Built for hunters who want to exploit the 6.5 Creedmoor's ballistic advantages—flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and gentler recoil than heavier calibers—this load pairs competition-grade components with a bullet engineered specifically for game. Each 20-round box delivers the same meticulous QC and premium materials that long-range hunters hand-load into their own rounds, but ready to shoot.

At the heart of this cartridge sits Berger's Classic Hunter bullet, a 135-grain projectile built on a hybrid ogive that blends tangent and secant profiles to minimize wind deflection and maximize in-flight stability. The J4 Precision Hunting Jacket initiates rapid expansion on impact, penetrating 2–3 inches into vitals before creating a wide wound cavity—up to 15 inches—that maximizes organ damage and hydrostatic shock for clean, ethical kills on deer and similar game.

Berger loads this ammunition with premium 6.5 Creedmoor brass, temperature-stable powder, and match-grade large rifle primers. The result is consistent velocities downrange and the accuracy you'd expect from a company that made its name in competitive precision shooting. Whether you're hunting at typical ranges or stretching shots into the 400–600-yard territory where the Creedmoor shines, this is ammunition that performs.
