Berger Match Grade Target Bullets .22 Cal .224" 80.5 Gr Fullbore 100
$449.54
The Berger Match Grade Target .22 caliber bullets deliver the precision and consistency competitive shooters demand for long-range fullbore match competitions. Built around a lengthened tangent ogive design, these 80.5-grain projectiles achieve a high ballistic coefficient that flies flatter and cleaner than traditional secant-ogive designs—meaning less wind drift correction and more reliable hits downrange. Whether you're chasing X-ring accuracy at distance or fine-tuning a handload for your match rifle, these .224-inch diameter bullets give you the foundation for repeatable, tight groups.
Reloaders working with .22-caliber match rifles will appreciate the boattail configuration, which promotes stable flight and consistent velocities through various distance stages. Berger's matchgrade construction means tighter tolerances and better uniformity lot-to-lot—critical when every tenth of a grain and every thousandth of an inch matters in competition. A box of 100 gives you enough rounds to develop a load, practice at the range, or field a match without constantly restocking.
If you're building a precision .22 rifle for competition or long-range field work, these bullets belong in your loading manual. Pair them with quality brass, a consistent powder charge, and precise seating for the accuracy potential these projectiles are engineered to deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a tangent ogive and secant ogive?
Tangent-ogive bullets like these sit slightly closer to the rifling at the bearing surface, producing lower pressure and recoil impulse while maintaining excellent ballistic coefficient. Secant-ogive designs stand farther out and generate more bearing-surface contact. For match shooting, tangent ogives tend to be easier to shoot consistently across varying velocities and barrel conditions.
Are these bullets suitable for long-range competition?
Yes. These Berger Match Grade bullets are specifically designed for fullbore match shooting and long-range precision competition. The high ballistic coefficient and matchgrade uniformity support the kind of accuracy and consistency competitive shooters need.
What rifle calibers accept .224" diameter bullets?
The .224-inch diameter fits .22 caliber rifle cartridges, including .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .220 Swift, and other .22 centerfire rounds. Always verify bore diameter and bullet fit with your specific firearm before loading.
Do I get 100 bullets in a box?
Yes, this box contains 100 Berger Match Grade Target bullets, giving you a full set for load development, practice, or match preparation.
