Berger Match Grade Target Bullets .30 Cal .308" 155 Gr Hybrid 500/Ct
$332.19
Berger Match Grade Target Bullets in .30 caliber deliver the precision performance serious reloaders demand for long-range rifle competition and target shooting. These 155-grain .308" projectiles combine two distinct ogive profiles—tangent and secant—engineered by Berger's chief ballistician Bryan Litz to solve a fundamental reloading trade-off: flexibility in seating depth without sacrificing wind-deflection performance. If you're building ammunition for competition or extended-range accuracy work, this hybrid design gives you both the user-friendliness of extra seating tolerance and the ballistic efficiency of a secant profile.
The boattail configuration helps maintain velocity and reduces drag downrange, characteristics that matter when you're chasing tight groups at distance. A 500-count box gives you plenty of brass to work with for load development, testing, and practice. Berger's reputation for quality control and consistent dimensions means less sorting and prep work on your end, freeing you to focus on the reloading variables that actually shift your groups.
Whether you're fine-tuning a custom .308 Winchester, tuning a precision bolt gun, or experimenting with different powders and primers, these bullets tolerate the small seating variations that come with careful handloading—a real advantage when you're pursuing the last tenth of a grain or tenth of an inch of improvement. They're the choice for shooters who understand that match-grade ammunition starts with match-grade components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between tangent and secant ogives, and why does this hybrid matter?
A tangent ogive has a wider bearing surface near the muzzle, which tolerates small variations in bullet seating depth—important when you're handloading and fine-tuning. A secant ogive offers a sleeker, more efficient shape that performs better in wind. Berger's hybrid combines both profiles in a single bullet, so you get easier seating without sacrificing the aerodynamic advantage of the secant design.
What .30-caliber cartridges can I use these bullets in?
These .308" diameter, 155-grain projectiles are compatible with standard .30-caliber rifle cartridges such as .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and similar rounds that accept .30 cal bullets. Always verify cartridge compatibility with published reloading data before assembling ammunition.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 500 bullets, providing ample supply for load development, range testing, and practice shooting.
Are these bullets good for hunting, or are they strictly target/competition bullets?
These are match-grade target bullets designed for precision rifle competition and accuracy testing. For hunting applications, Berger offers other bullet lines optimized for that purpose. Always select bullets designed for your intended use.
