$47.69
The Berger Match Grade Tactical .224" 77-grain OTM (Open Tip Match) bullet is a premium boat-tail round designed for shooters who demand match-grade accuracy in tactical, competition, and precision rifle applications. These bullets excel in modern AR-15s and bolt-action rifles with 1:7" and 1:8" twist rates, making them a go-to choice for competitive marksmen and precision-focused reloaders who want reliable performance from 100 yards through extended-range shooting beyond 600 yards.
Built with Berger's J4 Precision jackets—manufactured to exacting standards with +/- .0001" Total Indicated Runout—each round is engineered for the tight tolerances that separate good ammunition from match-grade loads. The boat-tail design and tangent ogive shape make these bullets straightforward to load and tune, while their open-tip profile feeds reliably through standard magazines and meets SAAMI length specifications without compromise.
Whether you're hand-loading for an AR-platform rifle, tuning a bolt gun for long-range work, or building loads for the firing line, the Berger OTM Tactical delivers the consistency and accuracy that serious shooters expect. Each box contains 100 bullets, ready to be seated into your preferred brass and paired with your load of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AR-15 twist rates work with these 77-grain bullets?
Berger designed the 77-grain OTM Tactical for rifles with 1:7" and 1:8" twist rates. Check your barrel's twist rate before ordering to ensure proper bullet stability.
Will these bullets feed reliably in magazines?
Yes. The boat-tail profile and SAAMI-compliant overall length make these bullets compatible with standard magazine feeding in AR-platform rifles and other magazine-fed applications.
What is OTM and why does it matter for reloading?
OTM stands for Open Tip Match. The open tip (rather than a closed point) is typical of match-grade ammunition and is optimized for consistent ballistics and terminal performance in target and tactical scenarios. The design also aids in bullet seating consistency during reloading.
How far can I expect to shoot these bullets accurately?
Berger match-grade tactical bullets are commonly used at distances from mid-range out to 600 yards and beyond, depending on your rifle, load, and environmental conditions. Hand-loaded precision and proper barrel twist for the 77-grain weight are key variables.
