Berger .30 Cal 230gr Hybrid Target Bullets
Chasing honest vertical at 1,000 yards? These .30 cal 230gr Hybrid Target bullets are a favorite for .300-class long-range rifles. The Hybrid ogive is easy to tune, carries BC well, and stays predictable when the wind is moving.
Why shooters pick it
- Hybrid Ogive: tangent start for forgiving seating depth, transitioning to a secant nose for a flatter path and less wind drift.
- Consistent core + J4 Target Jacket: industry-leading concentricity (±0.0003") keeps dispersion low and BCs repeatable.
- Boat-tail base: adds down-range efficiency and stability through the transonic window.
Key Features of Hybrid Target Bullets
1. Hybrid Ogive
Starts tangent near the bearing surface to make load development straightforward, then blends into a secant profile to cut drag at distance.
2. Consistent Core
Exacting core manufacturing means you don’t need to weight-sort—expect reliable drop and consistent BC from lot to lot.
3. Boat Tail
Smoother aerodynamics at long range and steadier flight as velocity tapers.
4. J4 Target Jacket
Ultra-uniform copper jackets favored by custom makers; built for tiny groups and repeatable results.
